Description Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-11-11 08:00:56 UTC 
wpa_supplicant-2.4 added support for IEEE 802.11s.
wpa_supplicant-2.5 added RSN support on top of that.

It isn't enabled by default, but defining CONFIG_MESH adds support for both.
Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-11-11 09:13:31 UTC 
Maybe CONFIG_IBSS_RSN is needed as well. If only they documented such things.
Comment 2 Bjarke Istrup Pedersen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-11-14 13:31:08 UTC 
Has been added to 2.5-r1 .

IBSS_RSN is already added there, so I have just added MESH.
Comment 3 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-11-17 05:17:45 UTC 
Kconfig_style_config MESH doesn't actually work. The only way I found to work is to set CONFIG_MESH=y on the command line.

For good measure, throw in CONFIG_SAE=y, too.

Any news on this?
