Hi
I am trying to enable mesh mode in ath5k for a my projectwork. I am using
compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 and kernel 6.28
when i give the
cmd:iw phy phy0 interface add mesh0 type mesh mesh_id meshmac
it creates an interface with mode auto not mesh and after a while it goes to
station mode by itself.
Q.is in any way network manager responsible for switching to station mode?
in cfg80211 - wext compat code, i dont find any option for adding mesh point in
function
int cfg80211_wext_siwmode(struct net_device *dev, struct iw_request_info *info,
u32 *mode, char *extra)
{
struct wireless_dev *wdev = dev->ieee80211_ptr;
struct cfg80211_registered_device *rdev;
struct vif_params vifparams;
enum nl80211_iftype type;
int ret;
if (!wdev)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
rdev = wiphy_to_dev(wdev->wiphy);
if (!rdev->ops->change_virtual_intf)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
/* don't support changing VLANs, you just re-create them */
if (wdev->iftype == NL80211_IFTYPE_AP_VLAN)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
switch (*mode) {
case IW_MODE_INFRA:
type = NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION;
break;
case IW_MODE_ADHOC:
type = NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC;
break;
case IW_MODE_REPEAT:
type = NL80211_IFTYPE_WDS;
break;
case IW_MODE_MONITOR:
type = NL80211_IFTYPE_MONITOR;
break;
default:
return -EINVAL;
}
even after setting mesh point option i am not able to setup a mesh mode, it
always sets up auto mode.
Q, does iwconfig support for mesh option?
I am a bit new with device driver programing. I need som guidance here
Thanks
