Hi Antonio. As I understand it, beaconing is currently broken in rt2x00 (it used to work in the past). This means that, until the device can send beacons again, it won't be able to do mesh (or AP or IBSS). However the commit in question at least sets up the driver to support mesh as soon as beaconing works again.
