Hi all, I'm trying to set-up a mesh network using wpa-supplicant (already did using iw and works fine) because I would like to implement security. I followed the guide https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/mesh?s[]=mesh&s[]=point but I bump into some issues: - when I set the parameter user_mpm=1 in the wpa_supplicant.conf file, I have the llid and plid both set to 0 and the mesh points aren't able to ping each other. - Setting the parameter user_mpm=0 the peers can ping each other. - If I implement the security I fall back to the same llid/plid=0 issue. So it seems thet have user_mpm=1 and/or security implementation allows to build the mesh, but it's impossible to ping and transmit on it. Using user_mpm=0 allows the proper work of the mesh but only id security is NOT used. Is it ok to have llid/plid=0 when security is implemented or user_mpm=1? Is someone already had this issue? I'll be grateful for every hint! Here my configuration file and the station dump: With secure MP and user_mpm=0 or 1: # Basic Mesh Point configuration on channel 36 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant user_mpm=0 network={ ssid="ath10k36" mode=5 frequency= 5180 #SECURITY MANAGEMENT #key_mgmt=NONE key_mgmt=SAE psk="i2cati2cati2cat" ieee80211w=1 } Station 04:f0:21:22:91:81 (on m36p) inactive time: 160 ms rx bytes: 354494 rx packets: 4146 tx bytes: 1074 tx packets: 8 tx retries: 0 tx failed: 0 rx drop misc: 1 signal: -40 dBm signal avg: -40 dBm tx bitrate: 6.0 MBit/s rx bitrate: 6.0 MBit/s mesh llid: 0 mesh plid: 0 mesh plink: ESTAB mesh local PS mode: ACTIVE mesh peer PS mode: UNKNOWN mesh non-peer PS mode: ACTIVE authorized: no authenticated: yes associated: no preamble: long WMM/WME: yes MFP: yes TDLS peer: no DTIM period: 2 beacon interval:1000 connected time: 2146 seconds Station 04:f0:21:22:91:88 (on m36h) inactive time: 600 ms rx bytes: 434903 rx packets: 5080 tx bytes: 754 tx packets: 5 tx retries: 0 tx failed: 0 rx drop misc: 8 signal: -41 dBm signal avg: -41 dBm Toffset: 2666496059 us tx bitrate: 6.0 MBit/s rx bitrate: 6.0 MBit/s mesh llid: 0 mesh plid: 0 mesh plink: ESTAB mesh local PS mode: ACTIVE mesh peer PS mode: UNKNOWN mesh non-peer PS mode: ACTIVE authorized: no authenticated: yes associated: no preamble: long WMM/WME: yes MFP: yes TDLS peer: no DTIM period: 2 beacon interval:1000 connected time: 2620 seconds Without secure MP and user_mpm=0 # Basic Mesh Point configuration on channel 36 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant user_mpm=0 network={ ssid="ath10k36" mode=5 frequency= 5180 #SECURITY MANAGEMENT key_mgmt=NONE #key_mgmt=SAE #psk="i2cati2cati2cat" #ieee80211w=1 } Station 04:f0:21:22:91:81 (on m36) inactive time: 940 ms rx bytes: 1882 rx packets: 24 tx bytes: 308 tx packets: 3 tx retries: 0 tx failed: 0 rx drop misc: 2 signal: -39 dBm signal avg: -39 dBm tx bitrate: 6.0 MBit/s rx bitrate: 6.0 MBit/s mesh llid: 36778 mesh plid: 44382 mesh plink: ESTAB mesh local PS mode: ACTIVE mesh peer PS mode: UNKNOWN mesh non-peer PS mode: ACTIVE authorized: yes authenticated: yes associated: yes preamble: long WMM/WME: yes MFP: no TDLS peer: no DTIM period: 2 beacon interval:1000 short slot time:yes connected time: 11 seconds Thanks a lot Best Regards Matteo
