I have no problem making an open mesh with following config:

network={
    ssid="mymesh"
    mode=5
    frequency=2412
    key_mgmt=NONE
    psk="reallysecret"
}

i.e. ping is working. But when I use SAE,

network={
    ssid="mymesh"
    mode=5
    frequency=2412
    key_mgmt=SAE
    psk="reallysecret"
}

I get a connection:

mesh: CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED - Connection to 00:00:00:00:00:00 completed
[id=0 id_str=]
mesh: MESH-GROUP-STARTED ssid="mymesh" id=0
mesh: new peer notification for 54:4a:16:18:ef:50
mesh: mesh plink with 54:4a:16:18:ef:50 established
mesh: MESH-PEER-CONNECTED 54:4a:16:18:ef:50

But network layer is not working, i.e. ARP resolution etc. What's the problem?
