> This patch fixes mesh point operation (thanks to YanBo for pointing out the
> problem): make mesh point interfaces start beaconing when they come up and configure the RX filter in mesh mode so that mesh beacons and action frames are
> received. Add mesh point to the check in ath5k_add_interface. Tested with
> multiple AR5211 cards.
