Hi Keir. What type of Atheros-based card are you using? How many antennas do you have connected? If I understand things correctly, the PCU code regression (with respect to mesh and maybe AP and IBSS) has to do with having one antenna hooked up when your hardware also has an AUX antenna connector. If you have only one antenna, can you please plug in a second one and try again (before and after the commit in question)? I will try to do the same test here.
