Hi list, i was searching the archiv but could not find something matching. In a setup with a number of mesh-cubes (http://www.meshcube.org/) a have troble with topology change under specific conditions. Setup is: The cubes are running kernel 2.4.24. Between root and repeaters WDS is used. root cube A bridge br0 has interfaces: eth0 to copper ethernet wlan0 Managed wlan1wds0 Repeater to cube B wlan1wds1 Repeater to cube C bridge cube B bridge br0 has interfaces: wlan0 Managed wlan1wds0 Repeater to cube A bridge cube C bridge br0 has interfaces: wlan0 Managed wlan1wds0 Repeater to cube A STP on WDS auto_add off (host_ap stuff) There are no wireless clients connected to the network. Basicly there are 3 ethernet links: Managed 802.11 | /-(2)-> bridge_cube_B some_eth <-(1)-> root_cube_A <= | \-(3)-> bridge_cube_C | | Managed 802.11 Managed 802.11 When i either turn off cube B or cube C the root cube A gets or makes "topology change" all the time. This takes out the interface on cube A most of the time, making the thing completely unusable. Today, i did a test with 4 cubes (1 root / 3 repeater) and the oddly thing was, when taking out 1 repeater, only one more link became unusable. So 1 link where left operational. In the above setup all wireless links became unusable (there are only 2, so OK). Please let me know witch more in depth iformation are required. thx, Axel
