Ok. I didn't realize the driver was broken and the issue wasn't specific
to mesh support. I hope the driver maintainers can solve this soon.
Thanks,

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.

Hi,
I have been trying to setup a mesh network using the 802.11s stack,
but
unfortunately the only hardware that I have readily available are
rt2x00
usb dongles and an ath5k mini-pci card. Since support for rt2x00
driver is listed on o11s.org as being in development, what is the
current
status
of mesh support for this driver?
I see recent commit activity such as
fdc26201323eb8ba543ac5624f8d71e55b6f7352,
"rt2x00: Add mesh support" but I am still unable to establish mesh
links
using
rt2x00 devices. An rt2x00 device can see the ath5k device according
to
'iw dev mesh station dump', but the link state never changes to
ESTAB.
Thanks,
Antonio Marques
