We are using TI wl18xx and Mesh with wpa_supplicant 2.10. This module is
limited to 10 nodes, so it is very common to see that all slots (iw dev
wlan0_mesh station dump) ends up in the "mesh plink: BLOCKED" state, which
prevents formation of the mesh. Blocking happens due to SAE auth failures,
either due to "bad" nodes that should not use this mesh (expected), and
sometimes even for nodes which should use this mesh and have correct SAE
credentials (unknown why).
I found the kernel patch on
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20211220105147.88625-1-nbd@xxxxxxxx/
which clarifies the NL80211_PLINK_BLOCKED comment and Felix Fietkau
mentioned a hostapd follow up patch, but I cannot find any such patch?
The plink blocking does not seem very useful to me; what drawbacks are
there to setting a very short duration?
Br,
Peter Åstrand
