Hi All,

I have created two mesh points on two different IEEE802.11 system(t1024 
based WiFi AP) using following steps:

$sudo iw phy phy0 interface add mesh0 type mp
$sudo ifconfig mesh0 0.0.0.0 up
$sudo wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -B -i mesh0 -c 
/mnt/jffs2/conf/mesh0_encp.conf
$sleep 5
$sudo brctl addif br0 mesh0

Both Mesh points are associated.But  these points are not pinging from 
each other.Follwoing error message has been seen on the serial prompt 
while executing station dump on either of the system :

$sudo iw mesh0 station dump

System Details:

Kernel : 3.12 rt 51+ (SDK 1.9)

ath10K driver: backport-4.4.2-1

Ath10K firmware: firmware-5.bin_10.2.4.70.59-2

The ath10k_core driver has been inserted in rawmode while creating mesh 
interface.

Please help me to test Mesh using ath10K driver.

Thanks & Regards,

Kavita
