The problem was that babeld assumed bat0 as a wired interface so when 2 or 3 packet was lost it marked the route as unreachable, now the problem is fixed thanks to a patch from julius
by the way it is not normal that batman loss packet on wired links and I think we should do some debug to understand what is happening...
