I get identical behavior with the patch I'm about to RFC for ath9k to enable 
mesh mode.  I just want to test that it works with my b43, rt61pci, and 
rt2x00usb devices.  Of the 4, ONLY b43 enables beaconing for mesh mode on
interface up.  I suspect my ath5k one will exhibit similar behavior.  I've 
reviewed the b43 code about 100 times during the writing of my patch for ath9k
and I can't spot what it's doing that's so different.
