I followed the guide at: https://github.com/o11s/open80211s/wiki/HOWTO to set up the network. When I get all of the computers up and configured they all see each other. The command "iw dev mesh station dump" shows all the nodes in the area. However the path selection doesn't seem to work at all. For instance the command "iw dev mesh mpath dump" returns nothing. However if I manually add arp entries using the arp command they show up in the mpath dump. I am willing to do whatever to troubleshoot however there is very little documentation that I have been able to find on trouble shooting these issues. I would also be able to provide a pcap file of the nodes coming online. I'm new to the wireless world but have C coding experience and would be willing to put in the time to learn. Best, Jason Scatena
