The mesh has not been working in the last builds.
Problem started with build 3-31-2011.
The symptoms are quiet obvious, nodes will not establish peer links.
After some debugging I noticed that no beacons were being sent.
In build 4-18-2011, a check for the opmode has been added to configure the
beacons(ath9k_allow_beacon_config()). The opmode is not set to
"NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT" which is the correct value for a mesh config.
Instead it's set to "NL80211_IFTYPE_AP".
As a result no beacons are being configured (debug msg: STA vif's beacon not
allowed on AP mode) and no plink can be established.
The opmode needs to be set correctly in main.c
(in ath9k_calculate_summary_state()).
Something like:
if (iter_data.nmeshes)
ah->opmode = NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT;
else if (iter_data.naps)
ah->opmode = NL80211_IFTYPE_AP;
instead of:
if (iter_data.nwds + iter_data.nmeshes)
ah->opmode = NL80211_IFTYPE_AP;
This seems to work, for now...
