It seems to be worked for me with the following two test scenarios: Node 1 [ath10k] <---> Node 2 [ath10k] <---> Node 3 [ath10k] Node 1 [ath10k] <---> Node 2 [ath9k] I am using the following: compat-wireless-2015-07-21 from OpenWRT firmware-5.bin_10.2.4.70.6-2 I just wondering whether using raw wifi is better for encrypted mesh later? ---- Chun-Yeow On Wed, Sep 16, 2015 at 8:39 PM, Bob Copeland wrote: > On Mon, Aug 31, 2015 at 01:43:28AM +0800, Chun-Yeow Yeoh wrote: >> Hi, Bob >> >> > Yes: you don't want to enable raw mode TX / RX decap in the normal >> > case because it's fairly inefficient compared to "native" wifi mode, >> > according to my understanding.
