Mesh and IBSS #6

The Alpha *ACM modules do support 802.11s Mesh networking without an issue. There is an issue with IBSS when it's the only IBSS node in the wireless group, as the kernel goes in a tizzy. Mutliple IBSS nodes present work. I will dupe and report it to the OpenWRT repo.

Hi @MauriceS-WTI

Thanks for testing both of these capabilities. I am going to assume you are speaking only of the mt7612u module but let me propose this: We need the mt7610u module working well also so if this is also a problem with the mt7610u, maybe you can include both in the bug report. I have adapters based on the mt7610u that I can use to test.

After you dupe the bug and write it up (step by step), let me try it on the mt7610u before you send the report in. Fair enough?

Also, while the mt76 at OpenWRT is a good downstream repo, I have seen things that aren't vital to the mission of OpenWRT not get too much attention there so I would recommend posting the bug at the OpenWRT repo but if nothing seems to be happening after about 3-4 weeks, post it to linux-wireless and the kernel devs that do the Mediatek work in the kernel. If you are not familiar with that process, let me know and I will give you the links. Making an official report to the kernel devs requires us to be very professional about it. And that reminds me that I have 2 things on my list of things to report.

Regards
