Operation not supported - when joining mesh.

[darkdrgn2k]

Recently upgraded Raspbery Pi to Debian Stretch causes some issues with meshing. I have no idea where the issue is (driver,kernel, etc)

example of issue below

PS: hardware worked Fine on Debain 8 (jessie)

sudo iw reg set CA sudo iw phy phy1 interface add mesh0 type mp sudo iw --debug dev mesh0 mesh join tomesh freq 2412

What's the wireless driver that you used? Check whether it supports mesh

As i mentioned in my above post the hardware we are using has not changed between DEBIAN 8 and 9

everything works in 8, but not in 9

Also i can create the mesh INTERFACE (which if the drivers did not support would not be possible) I just cannot JOIN the mesh network

Should be no problem for ath9k_htc. While you up your interface, is that any other VAP running on the same interface? If yes, try to remove it first.

Also make sure that there is no network-manager managing the interface on the background.

As i mentioned in my above post the hardware we are using has not changed between DEBIAN 8 and 9

everything works in 8, but not in 9 also i can create the mesh INTERFACE just not JOIN the mesh network

it seems the mesh came up when i re-purposed wlan0 instead of creating secondary one.

intereting..

ok seems there is still a problem

this does NOT work (and confirmed that wlan0 IS deleted and no longer exists in ifconfig -a)

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# ifconfig  wlan0 down
iroot@raspberrypi:/home/pi# iw wlan0 del
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# iw phy phy0 interface add mesh0 type mp
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# ifconfig mesh0 up
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi#  iw dev mesh0 mesh join tomesh freq 2412 HT40+
command failed: Operation not supported (-95)

but this does

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# ifconfig wlan0 down
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# iw wlan0 set type mp
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# ifconfig wlan0 up
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi#
root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# iw wlan0 mesh join tomesh freq 2412 HT40+

Seemed to be an os issue of some sort.

Found that I had the exact same issue as you, running Raspbian stretch and a RT5370. Did you ever figure out what was causing it?

[darkdrgn2k]

at the time we found creating a. virtual. interface was breaking things.l instead we reused the existing one and things started working.

however I have found that network manager and wpa_supplicant both create problems.

network manager seems to now be gone ow but try killing wpa_supplicant it may help.

Thanks @darkdrgn2k, I also found that killing wpa_supplicant was necessary. There's supposedly 802.11s support coming in a version of wpa_supplicant but it doesn't appear to be in stretch.

Reusing the existing interface looks like it works for me as well, will just stick to that moving forward.
