Thanks for all feedback. I have tested Mesh connections between an iMX6 
system as well as multiple BeagleBone Green Wireless systems. All running 
Linux 5.4.24, and with WiFi chip TI WL1835. No kernel patches except the 
TI WiLink patches (port to 5.4 per 
https://github.com/astrand/wilink8-wlan-build-utilites/commits/r8.8). 
Communication has been monitored using Wireshark, so I have confirmed that 
H2E is really used. Don't know anything about RSNXE, unfortunately.

Makes sense! It might take some time, but I'll make a try.

Best regards,
