This is because ath9k currently uses the hardware's adhoc beaconing mode for mesh. See ath9k_hw_beaconinit() in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c. This is probably wrong, and we have a patch to beacon with AP mode, but I'll have to dig it up. -- Thomas -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
