Drop outdated and by now broken patchset originally supplied by Peter Oh in August 2018 but never merged upstream. Instead add the more promissing rework recently submitted by Markus Theil who picked up Peter's patchset, fixed and completed it and added support for HE (802.11ax) in mesh mode. This is only compile tested and needs some real-life testing. Fixes: FS#3214 Fixes:167028b750("hostapd: Update to version 2.9 (2019-08-08)") Fixes:0a3ec87a66("hostapd: update to latest Git hostap_2_9-1238-gdd2daf0848ed") Fixes:017320ead3("hostapd: bring back mesh patches") Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>

Subject: [PATCH 02/19] mesh: fix channel init order, disable pri/sec channel
|
|
switch
|
|
|
|
wpa_supplicant_conf_ap_ht has to happen before hostapd_setup_interface
|
|
in order for its configuration settings to have effect on interface
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
Disable primary and secondary channel switch because of missing tie
|
|
breaking rule/frames in mesh networks. A rather long comment about
|
|
this issue is placed in mesh.c in the corresponding place.
|
|
|
|
In consequence, remove mesh coex test, which contradicts this change.
|
|
|
|
I was not able to reproduce the memory corruption during
|
|
mesh_secure_ocv_mix_legacy, which lead to a revert of a similar patch
|
|
in the past.

+ /* While it can enhance performance to switch the primary channel, which

|
|
+ *
|
|

|
|

|
|
