Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1835
Hello,
I am trying to setup mesh or ibss network, when I am running the command
iw dev wlan0 mesh join test_mesh
The command returns -95.
Even we try to create a mesh interface then also the command failes.
iw phy0 interface add wlan0 type mesh
this returns -95.
As per documentation and as well as per output of iw phy0 info, the device should support mesh mode.
Wiphy phy0
