No workaround. I am not familiar with wireless mesh networking. I suppose there are people on the linux-wireless mailing list who know what is needed from a mac80211 driver (like brcmsmac) to enable mesh networking.

Yeah mainly beacons, but also 4addr frames and FIF_OTHER_BSS filter. -- thomas ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Linville, Arend van Spriel, brcm80211-dev-list, linux-wireless Is there any work already done or is being done to get the mesh support on brcmsmac driver (I can see that b43 and b43legacy already has mesh support)? Since b43 has no support for BCM4313 chipsets so using b43 is not an option in my case. Also, will making changes to brcmsmac be sufficient or will there be a requirement for firmware changes to achieve mesh support?
