Hello,
I tried to change the mcast-rates from 12 to 6 and also to 1 on all 6
routers with no luck.
I did notice something that Thomas asked earlier
>>>> Just to confirm: all neighbors toward the router in LISTEN show it as
>>>> LISTEN, right?
My reply was not correct. after trying out the mcast changes i compared the
iw dev station dumps on all the routers. The units that are not able to
communicate have LISTEN states. But the rest have ESTAB states.
Example: These 2 routers are trying to communicate with each other
Station 00:15:6d:65:6e:6b (on mesh2)
inactive time: 339 ms
rx bytes: 857596821

Hope that helps
