the new wireless-testing(6/2/09) did not cause reset anymore. however "iw dev mesh station dump" showed nothing, even after I did "ifconfig mesh up" and "ifconfig mesh down" a few times. How did you know if it's sending beacons or not? are you using the monitor interface or something?
this is what i did:
-------------------
iw dev wlan0 interface add mesh type mp mesh_id mesh
ifconfig mesh up
ifconfig mesh 192.168.3.80
iw dev mesh station dump
--------------------
do the same on a second node, with a different mesh IP address.
nothing showed up, with olsr I can see two nodes are "merged"
wish i know more to debug this, learning...
