If you aren't running it, probably isn't needed.  I mention it only 
because you had used the word 'wireless'.  And there is a patch around 
for hostapd to talk properly to ovs.

a quick google for 'manet arp' indicates something like:

https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/manet/current/msg08124.html

So depending upon the devices you have, the bridging/repeater mode of 
your node(2) may have issues.

Maybe a manet mailing list might have an answer?
