Hello Group,

I have been testing a multiple node mesh with ath5k and Authsae,

We are working our way up to 15 units in a mesh to do some stress testing.

We have run into a snag and not sure what to look at from here.

We have latest Kernel 3.6 with latest Compat-wireless build
We have the latest iw and authsae from GIT

Everything comes up and on-line with out any problem initially.

The issue we see is that some units, (Not all of them and not all the same
units) will show

NL80211_CMD_NEW_PEER_CANDIDATE(1349901686.331237)
new unauthed sta (seq num=1349901526)

If I do a iw dev mesh2 station dump I see

If I reboot the routers the same thing happens.
I have tried with and without nohwencrypt=1
I have also applied the patch
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg95993.html which was missing
for the latest build
any help on what to look for would be appreciated.

Fred
