Is there any work already done or is being done to get the mesh support on brcmsmac driver (I can see that b43 and b43legacy already has mesh support)? Since b43 has no support for BCM4313 chipsets so using b43 is not an option in my case. Also, will making changes to brcmsmac be sufficient or will there be a requirement for firmware changes to achieve mesh support?
