Hi, 

	When I try to remove the mesh interface from a node in my mesh
network by running "iw dev mesh del", 
 it is removed from network interfaces list but its variables and
structures specially the 'sta_info' structure is not released and thay
save their last values. 
 This structure contains all of parameters of a station in a MESH
network. If plink's status of a node be in a non-ESTAB state such as
HOLDING or OPN_RCVD and can not ping other nodes, by bringing off the
interface or removing the mesh interface it will not be cleared. By
adding the mesh interface again, I found that its plink status is not
changed and is the same as its previous state.
 How can we clear such structure and make initial the mesh interface
same as when the system is made reboot and for the first time we add
the mesh interface? 

	Thanks in advance,
 A. Banaiyan
