Just so it's understood. You do not need to install a new rootfs image in order to install, and use a newer kernel. In other words, I'm personally using Wheezy 7.8, and a 4.1.x kernel.
In order to achieve this, all I did was download, and dd the 7.8 Wheezy console image, and then: apt-get update apt-cache search linux-image | grep 4 And then pick a suitable kernel Additionally though one would also have to follow similar instructions to these in order to get updated device tree files, and compiler setup. http://www.embeddedhobbyist.com/2015/09/beaglebone-black-updating-device-tree-files/ On Sat, Jan 23, 2016 at 1:42 PM, Brian Anderson <b...@nwlink.com> wrote: > I believe that the problem is that your kernel's ath9k driver does not > include complete support 802.11s.

IIRC, anything older than 3.19 didn't work too well with mesh > mode.
