Thanks Mark.  I'll try an external adapter and see if that works.

Is there anything specific to look for so I know the adapter supports mesh?  Specific chipset?

Hi Bob

I have it working on Raspberry Pi's.

Do you have any USB Wifi adapters connected that support mesh or no?

The onboard wifi does not support mesh, you need to use a supported USB dongle

Does anyone have LiMe working on a Raspberry Pi 3?  I can boot up the latest RPI-3 image and get the eth0 port connected to my WAN uplink, but the mesh doesn't work and the AP is not broadcasting any SSIDs.  The SSIDs all show "Wireless is disabled or not associated" and the wlan0-mesh_13 interface shows DOWN on the BMX6 Status page.

I get two errors during init:

[   10.862080] brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_add_iface: iface validation failed: err=-16
[   12.117179] brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_get_channel: chanspec failed (-1)

The brcmf_cfg80211_add_iface error traces back to this code in cfg80211_change_iface() in net/wireless/util.c:

        /* if it's part of a bridge, reject changing type to station/ibss */
        if ((dev->priv_flags & IFF_BRIDGE_PORT) &&
            (ntype == NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC ||
             ntype == NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION ||
             ntype == NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_CLIENT))
                return -EBUSY;
which seems to imply that this can't work (bridging an AdHoc interface).  Or maybe the AdHoc mode has to be set before the bridge is added?

Any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Bob
