Whatever layer 2 interface you want to add to the mesh.  To list interfaces:

# ip link

The ones with link/ether are "layer 2".  Note that bat0 and other batman
interfaces will also be listed.  You *can* add a batman interface to
another batman interface as an exercise in recursive coolness - but the
results are probably not all that useful.

Oh, and the example (typical for Fedora) interface name I gave was eno1,
*not* en01.
