Hi! I'm Javier, i'm trying to configure three computers 802.11s network, but 
what i'm trying to do it's do two networks and the computer in the middle have 
two wireless cards in two different channels.

I have done it with the next commands:

Computer 1:

sudo iw dev wlan0 interface add netMesh1 type mp mesh_id myMesh
sudo ifconfig netMesh1 192.168.2.1 up
sudo iw dev netMesh1 set channel 3

Computer 2 (with 2 cards):

sudo iw dev wlan0 interface add netMesh1 type mp mesh_id myMesh
sudo ifconfig netMesh1 192.168.2.2 up
sudo iw dev netMesh1 set channel 3

sudo iw dev wlan1 interface add netMesh2 type mp mesh_id myMesh
sudo ifconfig netMesh1 192.168.2.3 up
sudo iw dev netMesh1 set channel 6

Computer 3:

sudo iw dev wlan0 interface add netMesh2 type mp mesh_id myMesh
sudo ifconfig netMesh1 192.168.2.4 up
sudo iw dev netMesh1 set channel 6


When i do ping from the computer 1 to computer 2 it works (in the opposite way 
also), but from the computer 2 to the 3 it doesn't work. I don't know why, maybe 
it's because it can't support it??

But i have try to know which nodes does the computer 2 and 3 knows using:

iw dev netMesh2 station dump

and both of them are mesh plink: ESTAB


Does anybody can help me?

Thank you 


Thank you very much.

Javier
