My test Platform is: LAPTOP_A ---------------- MeshGate 1 ---------------- MeshGate2 192.168.3.1 192.168.3.252 192.168.3.253 08:00:27:c1:bf:06 Wistron_aa:41:ed Wistron_aa:40:a8 Acksysco_00:2d:ef The meshgate2 have a mesh interface and a lan interface bridged together, and IP address is set on the bridge. If I run a ping from LAPTOP_A to MeshGate2 and on the same time, I launch the following mesh initialization script iw phy phy0 interface add wlan0 type mp iw wlan0 set channel 36 ifconfig wlan0 up iw wlan0 mesh join cvtest brctl addif br-lan wlan0 In this case, I get no response from the ping. I spied the wireless with airpcap and wireshark: A PREQ frame is sent from the mesh gate but the "sta target" field is not set with the other mesh gate. In this frame, the "sta target" field is set to the destination mac address (Acksysco_00:2d:ef). I don't have this default with compat-2012-06-14. I have this default with compat-2013-01-07 and compat-2012-09-07 I attach a wireshark capture with the default. The frame #49 is PREQ with field target sta address set to MAC address of LAPTOPB. Do not hesitate to request more information or new test, if necessary to understand the default. Any help will appreciate. Best regards. Voncken cedric
