No, softmac cards must support mesh in the driver. If you have a fullmac card (non-mac80211) its up to the driver itself whether or not mesh is supported. There is a big column for drivers which support Mesh here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers Luis -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireles= s" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
