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 Regards On Thu, Dec 21, 2017 at 11:29 PM, Bob Haddleton &lt;bobh(a)haddleton.net <mailto:bobh@haddleton.net>> wrote: 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: 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.

Hi Bob, On Thu, Dec 21, 2017 at 03:29:51PM -0600, Bob Haddleton wrote: We do not directly add the Ad-Hoc (or 11s mesh) interface to the bridge but rather run batman-adv and bmx6 on top of it in order to provide local layer-2 routing (batman-adv) as well as a layer-3 routed backbone (bmx6). That should work as long as the wifi chip supports running an Ad-Hoc or 11s mesh interface along with an access point interface. More modern fullmac hardware (like brmcfmac) is more likely to work with 11s than Ad-Hoc because the vendors stopped putting any effort into Ad-Hoc mode long ago... Hence the question: Are you trying Ad-Hoc or 802.11s mesh mode?

So before using it I'd recommend to check on the Internet how good or bad is the support for this chip in 802.11s or Ad-Hoc modes. Actually I'm not aware of any well supported USB WiFi dongle for meshing, but I'm not very updated nowadays. @Daniel can talk better about which chips are good for meshing. Cheers. _______________________________________________ lime-users mailing list lime-users(a)lists.libremesh.org https://lists.libremesh.org/mailman/listinfo/lime-users
