So, I decided to look at the code and see when they got added to the sta list. It does when it receives some management frames and also when it's added manually with the NEW_STATION nl80211 command. I want automatic plinks to work. But since I've started to play with it, why not make the command just work. It's there. If adding plinks manually to mesh nodes is not permitted, I may just send another patch, disallowing it entirely and making it explicit in code, comment and git log. Did you have anything in mind for the use of this command to mesh mode? One use case I can think of is to set the block action before the node appears nearby (since station set will not work without the plink). Regards, Cascardo.
