Hi, My name is Victor and I'm new in Linux and Mesh world, but I would like to create a mesh network with 3 PCs and I'm having some problems with it. I want to create a mesh network consisting of 3 PCs. Each PC has an Atheros AR9285 wireless communications card and operating system Ubuntu 11.10 is installed on them. I'm following this HOWTO of github.com: https://github.com/cozybit/open80211s/wiki/HOWTO I have downloaded the project distro11s and followed the instructions that appear on README: https://github.com/cozybit/distro11s Then, I have followed the instructions on previous HOWTO for create mesh nodes. The executed instructions were: sudo iw dev wlan0 interface add mesh0 type mp ifconfig -a | grep mesh0 sudo iw dev mesh0 set channel 2 ifconfig mesh0 sudo ifconfig mesh0 192.168.0.30 sudo iw dev mesh0 mesh join MyMeshNet (where MyMeshNet is the mesh network that I want to create) But this last instruction doesn't work, and instead of it, iw help appears in the console (it seems there is some problem with input parameters in iw command). Also, if I execute the instruction "iw dev mesh0 link", the message that appears in the console is "Not connected.". I have tried to begin the mesh nodes creation with the following instruction: sudo iw dev wlan0 interface add mesh0 type mp mesh_id MyMeshNet but the following message appears: command failed: Too many open files in system (-23) I don't know if this happens beacuse I have to create the network previously or it's because I did anything wrong. If I have to create it previously, how should I create it? If I execute the instruction "iw dev mesh0 info", the following information appears: Interface mesh0 ifindex 4 type managed when "mesh0" interface was configured as mesh point in the first instruction. Then, I execute the instruction "sudo iw dev mesh0 set type mp" and with it I change the type manage to type mesh point. But if I execute the instruction "sudo iw dev mesh0 mesh join MyMeshNet", it doesn't work (iw help message is shown again in the console). I don't know how to continue, so I would appreciate your help on this issue. Thanks for your answers. Regards. Víctor.
