i think we should not do it. in ath9k we cannot have any other interface when already an Ad-hoc interface is there(I have not gone into the technical details why it should not). i think the same should be applicable for mesh too and it may be missing in ath9k ? > -Musa > On Jun 20, 2011, at 12:40 AM, Mohammed Shafi wrote: > >> On Sat, Jun 18, 2011 at 4:26 AM, ABM Musa <amu...@uic.edu> wrote: >>> Hi, >>> >>> I am trying to have both mesh and station interface in ath9k with >>> tplink-1043nd.
