Hello,
I am using wpa_supplicant to set up 802.11s mesh networks. I would like to
be able to set bandwidth and mcs in the same way I can with the iw command.
iw dev <devname> mesh join <mesh ID> [[freq <freq in MHz>
<NOHT|HT20|HT40+|HT40-|80MHz>] [basic-rates <rate in Mbps,rate2,...>]],
[mcast-rate <rate in Mbps>] [beacon-interval <time in TUs>] [dtim-period
<value>] [vendor_sync on|off] [<param>=<value>]*
Join a mesh with the given mesh ID with frequency, basic-rates,
mcast-rate and mesh parameters. Basic-rates are applied only if
frequency is provided.
The only relevant parameters I can find in wpa_supplicant.conf are:
# disable_ht: Whether HT (802.11n) should be disabled.
# 0 = HT enabled (if AP supports it)
# 1 = HT disabled # # disable_ht40: Whether HT-40 (802.11n) should be disabled.
# 0 = HT-40 enabled (if AP supports it)
# 1 = HT-40 disabled
#
# ht40_intolerant: Whether 40 MHz intolerant should be indicated.
# 0 = 40 MHz tolerant (default)
# 1 = 40 MHz intolerant
#
# ht_mcs: Configure allowed MCS rates.
# Parsed as an array of bytes, in base-16 (ascii-hex)
# ht_mcs="" // Use all available (default)
# ht_mcs="0xff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 " // Use MCS 0-7 only
# ht_mcs="0xff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 " // Use MCS 0-15 only
It is not clear to me whether these parameters can be used to configure
mesh nodes. The defaults would seem to suggest that I should be able to see
802.11n modes being used on the mesh. I dont see any HT modes being used.
Any one got any ideas?
Cheers
Roger
