Just curios: Are you actually running mesh + ap mode on a rt2x00 device?
Otherwise I'm fine with this.
Thanks,

Did you use 11n aggregation?

Yup, there are several issues there:
- The hw ignores RTS thresholds for AMPDUs AFAIK
- HT protection always uses CTS-to-self (hardcoded in driver in
rt2800_config_ht_opmode)
I don't think any other driver allows to configure if RTS-CTS or
CTS-to-self should be used?
You can easily enforce RTS-CTS for 11n transmissions by changing
rt2800_config_ht_opmode.
HTH,
Helmut

Allow AP and Mesh mode to operate concurrently using
single radio. Verify this using fonera 2.0n featuring
RT3052 chipset and also TP-LINK TL-WN727N featuring
RT5370 chipset.

Yes. AP and Mesh created from the same radio are bridged together in
Fonera 2.0n. I have also tried this using the TP-Link USB adapter in a
PC. STA can associate with the AP and has its traffic forwarding via
mesh.

Fine with me, however, in the future we could think of just using
dynamic debug in rt2x00 (pr_debug etc). Would allow a user to
enable debug output selectively during runtime.

I was thinking about the same and I have put the conversion to dynamic
debug on my TODO list
(unless someone beats me to it, I will look at this during the weekend).

You'd need to change the source code of rt2800_config_ht_opmode.
