Hi everybody,
I have isntalled openwrt backfire buildroot from trunk version in TP-link
TL-WR1043ND.
First I followed the steps from http://o11s.org/trac/wiki/OpenWrtBuilding,
but I had building problems with compat-wireless from
http://o11s.org/files/compat-wireless-2.6-o11s-0.4.2.tar.bz2. So I gave up
those steps and made my on 802.11s enabled image following these other
steps:
1- installation:
svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk openwrt
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a
make menuconfig
- Target System --> Atheros AR71xx/AR7240/AR913x/AR934x
- Target Profile --> TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND v1
- Kernel Module --> Wireless Drivers --> <*> kmod-ath9k
- Network --> Captative Portal --> <*> wifidog
--> File Transfer --> <*> wget
--> <*> iperf
--> <*> tcpdump
--> <*> traceroute
2- make V=99
3- make kernel_menuconfig
Networking suport --> wireless --> <M> cfg80211 - wireless configuration API
--> <M> Generic IEEE 802.11
Networking Stack (mac80211)
--> <*> Enable
mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support
4- make V=99 (Then the image was generated in bin/ar71xx)
5- I followed the recomended configuration to set up the mesh network:
router 1
rmmod ath9k
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.39.4/ath9k.ko nohwcrypt=1
iw dev wlan0 interface add mesh0 type mp
iw dev mesh0 set channel 6
ifconfig mesh0 192.168.2.1/24
iw dev mesh0 mesh join mymesh
router 2
rmmod ath9k
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.39.4/ath9k.ko nohwcrypt=1
iw dev wlan0 interface add mesh0 type mp
iw dev mesh0 set channel 6
ifconfig mesh0 192.168.2.2/24
iw dev mesh0 mesh join mymesh
When I run:
iw dev mesh0 station dump
I can see this result:
Station d8:5d:4c:d4:fd:7c (on mesh0)
inactive time: 920 ms
rx bytes: 25320
rx packets: 634
tx bytes: 223
tx packets: 3
tx retries: 0
tx failed: 0
signal: -52 dBm
signal avg: -51 [-66, -53, -60] dBm
tx bitrate: 1.0 MBit/s
rx bitrate: 1.0 MBit/s
mesh llid: 65475
mesh plid: 36832
mesh plink: ESTAB
It seems that routers are establishing connection on layer 2, but when I
try to ping they do not respond
I'm using ath9k driver and compat-wireless-2011-11-04.tar.bz2.
Have anyone had similar problem with ath9k + 802.11s in backfire from trunk
version?
Thanks for your attention.
Regards.
