wpa_supplicant, SAE secured MESH on RT5370 doesn't PING after peer connection is established

[Greg Gigon]

I’m using Raspbian, which is based of Debian 8 (Jessie), but compiled for ARM processor.
I don’t think Raspbian does backports, unfortunately. 
I could possibly try to recompile the single kernel module myself.
Would you suggest anything else?
