The mesh didn't like that, now they are all in a LISTEN state.  After
reboot and starting the mesh manually.

If I run the authsae manually I see alot of these errors now

nlerror, cmd 59, seq 1352102639: Device or resource busy

This is a channel issue isn't it?  I do set the channel before authsae. I
recall you having this issue back in November.

FYI my "script to start authsae"
--------------------
/sbin/ifconfig mesh0 down
/bin/sleep 1
/usr/sbin/iw dev mesh0 set channel 157
/bin/sleep 1
/sbin/ifconfig mesh0 up
/sbin/meshd-nl80211 -c /etc/authsae.cfg -i mesh0 -s my-mesh
--------------------

thanks

Fred
