hi mailinglist!

i have a real big problem! i'm trying to implement a wireless-mesh 
(80211s) with openWRT (current trunk) over 11a (5GHz) with "authSAE" for 
outdoor. all works fine, mesh is runnning and all fine. but now, i'm at 
germany and for the outdoor use, i have to use the channel 100-140 with 
DFS & TPC. so the mesh implementation dont work in this channel? with 
this error:

authSAE config:

authsae:

  sae:
   {
     debug = 480;
     password = "foobar";
     group = [19, 26, 21, 25, 20];
     blacklist = 5;
     thresh = 5;
     lifetime = 3600;
   };
  meshd:
   {
     meshid = "foobar";
     interface = "mesh0";
     band = "11a";
     channel = 104;
     htmode = "ht20";
     mcast-rate = 6;
     debug = 1;
   };
};

and this is without "authSAE":

but this is working with a non-DFS channel 44:

i think this error is from the "netlink lib(libnl genl)"...

if i use a channel without DFS, it works fine (in germany channel like 
36-48)... so how it is possible to use mesh (80211s) with DFS ?

big thx for answer,
   volker...
