Open mesh networks can still be created without the need of a userspace daemon. For secured mesh networks, the daemon takes control of the lifetime and the peer link state of mesh peers. While working on this we encountered a few issues with the mesh stack which are that are fixed in separate patches also included in this series. For a working userspace authentication daemon you can look at the ampe branch here: https://github.com/cozybit/authsae/tree/ampe Cheers, Javier
