Hello,
Re: Question 2:
I have also been looking into how to write an 802.11s compatible driver under
Linux 2.6.39 for a chipset that currently uses a custom Linux 2.4 driver.
My understanding is that as long as the driver is mac80211 compatible
("mac80211 is a framework which driver developers can use to write drivers for
SoftMAC wireless devices") 802.11s will work. So far the three different
Atheros chipset based mini-PCI cards I have tried have all worked.
Here are a number of starting points for understanding mac80211s:

http://linuxwireless.org/80211books/

Regards, John

Subject: More questions about 802.11s
More questions are coming up about 802.11s:
1. Can we run an AP on the same radio as we are running MESH?
2. Is there any documentation on how to write an 802.11s driver?
3. When should a node be labeled as a root node?
thanks
Yile-
