each node use the same config and I notice that mesh0 and wlan1-1 share the same mac address

I know this may no issue of mt76 but issue on mac80211 or somewhat.

same test on mt7915/ mt7603 / mt7612, same issue.

ptpt52 avatar Dec 11 '21 05:12 ptpt52

never? I remember I can run mesh couple months ago.

@ryderlee1110 sure now mesh cannot work. tested on mt76 or ath10k could you try it and make it confirm?

ptpt52 avatar Dec 13 '21 22:12 ptpt52

looks like that mt7603 do not support 80211s?

ptpt52 avatar Dec 28 '21 09:12 ptpt52

mesh on 7628/7603/7610/7612 works fine but ,tx stucks for 7613 when run in mesh mode @ptpt52

ptpt52 avatar Jan 12 '22 12:01 ptpt52
