I've been looking at this too. After the "revamp beacon configuration"

my two stations are found. I'm using both a b43 & zd1211rw.
I believe the problem is in mac80211. It appears that the call to
ieee80211_if_config that was previously in ieee80211_open never made it
to the new start_mesh routine in the revision. The attached patch seems
to revive beacons and both stations are now found. I'm not familiar with
the code and wouldn't call this a fix.
Yeah, we talked about it yesterday or the day before, and this seems
like the right fix, except you say that AP is also broken.
I'll look into everything when I no longer feel hung over from
travelling for about 18 hours.

I haven't tested AP, just mesh. So far, it's working w/ 3 nodes. In
rereading my post, it wasn't clear which beacons I meant.
Although mesh path timeout seems to default to 5000ms, in my testing it
takes about 50 min. Is this really the timeout that removes a node when
it's beacon is off for this period?
