Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1835
Tool/software: Linux
Hi,
I am trying to test mesh functionality using Wl1835 module. I am using Linux Kernel version 4.1.15 and Wi-Fi driver built using wl18xx-utils (version R8.7_SP2). I was able to test mesh point mode successfully. But while testing Mesh portal mode by running mesh and station interface on the device, hardware recovery occurs. When I try to ping, the hardware recovery keeps occurring or at times Wi-Fi stops working.
Could anyone suggest what could be the issue ?
I am enabling station mode in the node that is supposed to act as Mesh Portal first. Then I am enabling mesh interface in the node which is supposed to act as Mesh point and then I am enabling the mesh interface on the Mesh Portal node.
Both the station and mesh interface are run on the same channel.
The wpa_supplicant conf file used for station mode is:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
#ctrl_interface_group=0
update_config=1
eapol_version=1
network={
ssid="xxxxx"
psk="12345abcde"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
}
The wpa_supplicant conf file used for mesh mode is:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
eapol_version=1
max_peer_links=10
mesh_max_inactivity=300
p2p_disabled=1
network={
ssid="MESHNET"
mode=5
frequency=2437
key_mgmt=NONE
}
Attached logs for your reference.
