debugging 802.11s

[Keir]

Ah ha! NetworkManager seems to have been the problem, I can now see
the other mesh box when I do a station dump.  However, I cannot ping
the other box as shown in the howto:

root at dave:/home/keir/Desktop/Code/iw-0.9.6# ping -c 2 10.0.0.2
PING 10.0.0.2 (10.0.0.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted

--- 10.0.0.2 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1006ms

when I try to ping this mesh point from the other one i get
destination unreachable errors instead.

I am using revision v2.6.28-rc2-4151-g43288a0 (from git describe) of
wireless-testing.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Keir
