Hi All, I have been trying to get open80211s working on the Android platform using the Beagleboard. I have a WiFi dongle, which works off the p54usb driver, and have ported that successfully over to Android. I have also built libnl1.1 and iw3.1 into my Android distribution. Additionally, my kernel configuration (kernel version 2.6.37) has the following options enabled under the NETWORKING --> WIRELESS section (I removed the options that were not set in order to save space) : # # Network testing # CONFIG_WIRELESS=y CONFIG_WEXT_CORE=y CONFIG_WEXT_PROC=y CONFIG_CFG80211=y CONFIG_NL80211_TESTMODE=y CONFIG_CFG80211_DEVELOPER_ WARNINGS=y CONFIG_CFG80211_DEFAULT_PS=y CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS=y CONFIG_LIB80211=y CONFIG_LIB80211_DEBUG=y CONFIG_MAC80211=y CONFIG_MAC80211_HAS_RC=y CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL=y CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_HT=y CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL=y CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT="minstrel_ht" CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=y CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS=y CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU=y Ok, so I have all the tools above built, and I go to load up the Android OS on the beagleboard. Once the system comes up, I load the p54usb wireless module as follows: # cd /system/lib/modules # insmod p54usb.ko The wireless driver loads fine. Next, if I type in: # iw phy0 info I get a lot of information about my wifi dongle's capabilities. In the "Supported interface modes" section, I see that "mesh point" is supported. After this, I do the command: # iw phy0 init After that, a wlan0 interface seems to be created. To check, I do: # iw wlan0 info, and I get the printout: Interface wlan0 ifindex 3 type managed Next, following the instructions on the o11s.org website for how-to setup a mesh point network, I type in: # iw dev wlan0 interface add mesh0 type mp # ifconfig mesh0 192.168.3.80 After this, I do # iw dev mesh0 mesh join mymesh This is when I get my error: command failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint (-95) However, in my netcfg output, I can see that mesh0 is an interface that is UP and has the IP address that I assigned it. I can also ping the mesh0 interface from within the beagleboard on which the mesh interface was created. I'm not sure if that means anything, but I figured I'd throw it out there. The commands and the outputs of the netcfg and the ping are shown below: # netcfg lo UP 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 0x00000049 usb0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00001002 wlan0 DOWN 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0x00001002 mesh0 UP 192.168.3.80 255.255.255.0 0x00001043 # iw mesh0 info Interface mesh0 ifindex 4 type mesh point # ping 192.168.3.80 PING 192.168.3.80 (192.168.3.80) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.3.80: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.122 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.3.80: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.061 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.3.80: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.122 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.3.80: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.122 ms ^C --- 192.168.3.80 ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 2999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.061/0.106/0.122/0.029 ms # iw dev $MESH_IFACE station dump ** NO RESPONSES ** meaning that this device is not participating in mesh network?? Can anybody shed light as to why I am unable to join the mesh network and getting the EOPNOTSUPP error? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
