Hi,
I'm currently trying to set up a small 802.11s mesh network. As I've come to understand there's no support for mesh networking at the moment for rt 73 based cards (using DWL-G122 C1).
Is it possible to implement the changes mentioned in http://linuxwireless.org/en/developers/Documentation/mac80211/API to support mesh networks for rt 73 as well?
Is there someone out there currently working on this? Otherwise, how could I contribute to make this work?
Regards,
Dan

rt73 devices are driven by the rt2x00 driver, in my case the interface
driver is rt73usb and the core driver is rt2x00. That does support
mesh although there's an issue related to beaconing:
