Hi Nick,

The commit that broke the mesh seems to be:

commit 8404080568613d93ad7cf0a16dfb68459b42a264
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Feb 15 12:46:39 2010 +0200

    mac80211: reject unhandled action frames

    802.11-2007 7.3.1.11 mandates that we need to
    reject action frames we don't handle by setting
    the 0x80 bit in the category and returning them
    to the sender, so do that. In AP mode, hostapd
    is responsible for this.

    Additionally, drop completely malformed action
    frames or ones that should've been encrypted as
    unusable, userspace shouldn't see those.

After that commit we observe invalid action category codes (0x9e) in
response to valid peer link open action frames (0x1e) and so no peer
links are established.  We don't have a fix at this time.

Cheers,

Javier
