If you or anybody from community would like to implement and support this feature, it is very welcome and we will consider the patches for inclusion, but base on few requirements: * We assume the patches make "mesh" works since we are not testing the mesh functions * The mesh feature should not break any of the normal WiFi operations which we _do_ test for * Since we are not testing the "mesh" function and would rely on the author to resolve any issues. We will disable the feature if "mesh" break any of the normal WiFi operation and both ourselves and the author are not be able to address the issues. The best place to start is base on the latest iwlwifi driver which you can find in the following location: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-2.6.git;a=summary Good luck and looking forward for your patches.
