Dear Maintainer,

Using iw to display a list of Mesh paths leads to a wrongly formatted output:

$ sudo iw dev mesh0 mpath dump
DEST ADDR         NEXT HOP          IFACE       SN      METRIC  QLEN    EXPTIME 
        DTIM    DRET    FLAGS
64:69:4e:XX:XX:XX 64:69:4e:XX:XX:XX mesh0       8885    57      0       0       
100     0       0x14
84:eb:18:XX:XX:XX 84:eb:18:XX:XX:XX mesh0       44751   65      0       2292

As you can see form the above iw command output, the table header, between "EXPTIME" and 
"DTIM" columns, has an extra tab.

Hi José, thanks for this bug report.

Could you perhaps test how the version of 'iw' currently in testing behaves?

Cheers,
