Thanks Thomas for your answer, In ath9k_hw_beaconinit() the mesh mode use the hadhoc beacon mode. I try to change it, and ath9k_set_beacon in driver/net/Wireless/ath/ath9k/beacon.c, but after these modifications, no beacon are sent (I think my change are wrong). Could you give me the old patch, I can try to update it with the latest compat, and I will send to you an updated patch. Thanks for your help.

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
