This also syncs the configuration files with the default configuration files, but no extra options are activated or deactivated. The mesh patches were partially merged into hostapd 2.8, the remaining patches were extracted from patchwork and are now applied by OpenWrt. The patches still have open questions which are not fixed by the author. They were taken from this page: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/hostap/list/?series=62725&state=* The changes in 007-mesh-apply-channel-attributes-before-running-Mesh.patch where first applied to hostapd, but later reverted in hostapd commit 3e949655ccc5 because they caused memory leaks.

Subject: [PATCH] set mcast_rate in mesh mode
|
|
|
|
The wpa_supplicant code for IBSS allows to set the mcast rate. It is
|
|
recommended to increase this value from 1 or 6 Mbit/s to something higher
|
|
when using a mesh protocol on top which uses the multicast packet loss as
|
|
indicator for the link quality.
|
|
|
|
This setting was unfortunately not applied for mesh mode. But it would be
|
|
beneficial when wpa_supplicant would behave similar to IBSS mode and set
|
|
this argument during mesh join like authsae already does. At least it is
|
|
helpful for companies/projects which are currently switching to 802.11s
|
|
(without mesh_fwding and with mesh_ttl set to 1) as replacement for IBSS
|
|
because newer drivers seem to support 802.11s but not IBSS anymore.
