You can hack around it to make it work, but the basic problem is the Atheros MAC only supports one mode at a time - AP or STA or IBSS. When doing mesh you want to synchonise TSF different to when you're in STA mode. The Linux guys have ath9k doing AP+mesh and STA+mesh, for various values of "works". I haven't personally tried it but I've heard reports that it does work. Again, for various values of "work". :-) You could give it a try and spend the extra time making all of the 802.11s quirks work; then figure out what other quirky behaviour happens when you're also in AP or STA mode. I don't have the time to sit down and solve whatever issues do creep up when doing mesh + other VAPs, sorry.
