<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi Andrea,<br><br></div>Please note the 'encryption=psk2' option is the one I've verified to work. 'encryption=psk2+aes' actually does not enable any encryption. Furthermore, I'm not sure the precompiled images for OpenWRT v12.09 support IBSS-RSN reliably. I'm using r39928 which I compiled myself, I believe versions newer than r37xxx are preferred for reliably IBSS-RSN.<br>
<br></div>The 'wmesh' name given for the first interface stanza is not mandatory. I give my wireless virtual interfaces explicit names to make configuration changes via UCI command tools easier. In addition, the "beacon_int" option is also not mandatory; it just sets a beacon interval to a known value.<br>
<br></div>Besides that, do please note the device options /etc/config/wireless file will vary from device to device, in particular the "ht_capab" options listed do need to match your radio's capabilities. You can try regenerating the minimal wireless config for your device file by removing/backing-up your existing /etc/config/wireless, and then reading the output "wifi detect" run at the shell prompt.<br>

</div>Just to make sure to get this right...<br>
<br>
is wpad alone enough? "wpad or (hostapd + wpa_supplicant)"<br>
<br>
or do I need wpad and wpa_supplicant? " (wpad or hostapd) and wpa_supplicant"<br>
<br>
I am in the process of building an OpenWRT image for our "dlep based<br>
hybrid node design" and would like to support the wpa2 mode.<br>
