Vadim,
Thank you for answering my question, but I have another, simpler one.
How can I /see/ this flag set? If I set the mesh_gate_announcements and
mesh_hwmp_rootmode=1 on my gateway, then log into another node and do a
"iw mesh0 mpath dump" nothing shows up under "FLAGS." Am I looking in
the wrong place?
I would like to somehow scrape some output, and resolve the mac address
to an IP address so I can set the routing table accordingly.

Hello Justyn.
There is no need to send that information in the Beacon frame. It is
sent in RANN Action broadcast frame with Gateway bit set in Flags field.
Cheers,
Vadim

Hello list,
Is there a way in which you can get information about gateway
nodes, ie, nodes that have mesh_hwmp_rootmode and
mesh_gate_announcements set = 1?
I'm considering a project in which gateways can come and go, and
all other nodes will need to somehow get information about which
nodes on the mesh network are gateways. I have considered writing
a program in which a beacon is sent out at about once every 5
seconds from a gateway node, where all other nodes can use the
source address of this beacon to know the address of the gateway.
But since a node that is enabled with mesh_gate_announcements is
probably sending out some sort of beacon anyway, I thought there
was an easier way.
It seems like there should be an iw dev MESH_INTF gateway dump,
but either I'm completely blind, or nothing is implemented.
