11s on openwrt

[Theodore Elhourani]

Hello,

We've been trying to set up the mesh network with MAPs (mesh access 
points). On
slackware we have successfully created a mesh network consisting of only mesh
points. We haven't been able to correctly bridge a mesh interface to a base
station interface (using 2 wireless cards).
I am wondering whether somebody has been able to achieve this on openwrt ?
