Hi, Simon Better to list out the version of compat-wireless used by your OpenWRT router and also the version used by your Ubuntu distribution and do a comparison.
If you are using OpenWRT trunk version, the compat-wireless version should be compat-wireless-2012-12-06. So perhaps you can download the latest version from [1]. It should work. For Ubuntu setup, if I am not mistaken, you need to turn off the network-manager before using mesh. Hope this help.
