Thomas,

Yes, I did like that.
iw phy phy0 interface add mesh0 type mp mesh_id mymesh
iw dev mesh0 set channel 48 HT20
ifconfig mesh0 up

However, if I use iw to set bitrate, something like that "iw mesh0 set 
bitrates legacy-5 54 mcs-5 15". Then use "iw dev mesh0 station dump" to 
check bitrate. It seems like only show 54Mbps or below bitrates. HT mcs 
rate can not be controlled?


Any help appreciate.

Thanks,

Bin
