[PATCH/RFC 00/18] 802.11s mesh support

[Bob Copeland]

Greetings,

This patchset developed at Cozybit adds mesh support to wpa_supplicant,
providing an alternative to the authsae daemon for running a secure
11s mesh network.  Unlike authsae, it also supports running open mesh
with the peering manager in userspace.

Patches 1-8 implement the mesh peering manager (MPM) supporting open mesh
networks.  Patches 9-12 augment the MPM and the existing SAE code to support
the Authenticated Mesh Peering Exchange (AMPE) and encrypted mesh.
Patch 13 implements mesh scanning, patch 14 implements P2P-like control
interface, patch 17 implements HT support, and the rest are odds and ends.

There are certainly a number of things that can be improved in this patchset,
and it needs a bit more testing, but I am posting it now to get input from
other intersted parties, some guidance on the approach in general, and
identification of which parts need the most work, in hopes that we can
address the warts and get the code upstream.
