Hi Fred,

I don't have a solution, but I can provide some pointers.  See inline:

These last two unknown IEs are the mesh ID (0x72) and the mesh config
(0x71) information elements.  Your version of iw does not seem to
recognize those.

These are stranger: 0x00 is SSID and 0x01 is supported rates.  I don't
know why iw would report them as unknown if they seem to be correctly
parsed above.  But probably no big deal.

This is reported by authsae: a PLINK_CLOSE IE is received of size 6
bytes.  Should be 22 or 24 bytes (see ampe.c:942).
May not be important.

Cmd 11 is NL80211_CMD_NEW_KEY, and the kernel seems to be rejecting
it.  The invalid argument error is -EINVAL, which could be raised by
cfg80211_validate_key_settings (see Yeoh's patch). authsae will
install 3 keys for each newly established peer.  See estab_peer_link,
in meshd-nl80211.c
Maybe you can try to commenting out one by one and determine which one fails.

Hopefully this helps you narrow down the problem.

Cheers,

Javier
