Dear all,

Layer 2 mesh does not require IP assignment to operate. Unfortunately,
we do not have the "MAC" utilities, such as PING, to proof that it
works correctly. That's why we always assign an IP on the mesh node to
do so. If you bridge an ethernet interface to your wireless mesh
interface in the same node, your devices connected via the ethernet
interface to the node should obtain an IP address from your router
(DHCP server turn on) going through layer 2 mesh.

>> If instead of "add route default mesh_interface", I use "route add default 
>> gw 10.0.0.1(router adress)" all works perfect but in full level 3.. shit.

Default gateway is always needed since you start dealing with layer 3.
Otherwise, the IP  layer does not know where to send if destination IP
is not currently in your subnet range. Think of layer 2 mesh like
adding a L2 switch.
