Hi
On some openwrt pages about Gargoyle and arpnat I found link to Felix Fietkau's patch
which was finally accepted to vanilla as commit 9bc383de37090ba7ca3ff32a12c9d809dc5867f0.
From this point there is probably support for 4addr mode (STATION/AP_VLAN), but what
is probably missing is athk5 support for it. Am I correct? Can somebody clarify this?

Thanks
