Is it not required to update the mesh11s configuration also to wpa_supplicant.conf ? #22

Mesh11sd takes care of updating the configuration directly to the driver via "iw" utility, is it not required to update them to wpa_supplicant.conf ? For eg: configuration like, max_peer_links

@Sophronia-AK

is it not required to update them to wpa_supplicant.

No. wpa_supplicant-[interface].conf is generated at wireless startup from the uci /etc/config/wireless configuration. Whereas mesh11sd writes to the driver via iw, and can do this dynamically at any time, not just at startup.

If you want to see the active mesh parameters do: mesh11sd status
