Hi all, On my embedded system, I'm trying to use the tools for authenticated MESH. I am using the fork of wpa_supplicant available that can authenticate mesh peers, available here:https://github.com/cozybit/hostap-sae. I followed what is described in the open80211s HOW page (http://o11s.org/trac/wiki/HOWTO#Testing). But, none Mesh Point does not authenticate. So can someone tell me what is the problem, please? Below, you can see my configuration and the output debug of wpa_supplicant (SAE). You can see a station (MP) is detected ("nl80211: New station 00:15:61:10:4f:7d"), but wpa_supplicant reject it: mesh0: 0: 00:15:61:10:4f:7d ssid='' wpa_ie_len=0 rsn_ie_len=20 caps=0x0 level=-67 mesh0: skip - SSID not known Thanks. C. Molinier I have two Mesh Point (MP) (with the same configuration): - MP(A) with MAC address 00:0B:6B:B5:EC:37 - MP(B) with MAC address 00:15:61:10:4f:7d I use: - kernel 2.6.27 - compat-wireless 2.6.39-rc1-3 for ath9k driver - hostapd-sae The wpa_supplicant configuration (mesh.conf) is: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant # Mesh network with SAE authentication network={ ssid="test" mode=5 frequency=5180 proto=RSN key_mgmt=SAE pairwise=CCMP group=CCMP psk="this is a secret place" sae_group_list=19 26 21 25 20 } To start the mesh point, I do: iw dev wlan0 interface add mesh0 type mp mesh_id test iw dev mesh0 set channel 36 ifconfig mesh0 up ifconfig mesh0 <ip address> wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -imesh0 -c mesh.conf -dd & The output debug on MP(A) is: [ 7.083217] kfifo: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
