cannot enable mode n in secured mesh while open mesh can #21
Description
hello, everyone
i am using WNA1100 wifi usb dongles to build a mesh network on ubuntu 1604. WNA1100 uses AR9271 chip,which support b/g/n(150Mbps). ath9k_htc driver in the linux kernel supports this usb dongle.
the open mesh network without password is build successfully, with command below
iw dev $meshdev set channel 3 HT40+
802.11 n (150Mbps) is enabled.
however, using wpa_supplicant, the secured mesh network builds successfully. But, i cannot enable 802.11n. my wpa_supplicant.conf is blow.
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=adm
user_mpm=1
network={
ssid="llymesh"
mode=5
frequency=2432
key_mgmt=SAE
psk="securedpassword"
}
the iw command is below,
iw dev $meshdev set channel 3 HT40+
ifconfig $meshdev 192.168.3.80
sudo ./wpa_supplicant-o11s-legacy/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant -d -Dnl80211 -iwlx4494fc0f6ec8 -c wpa_supplicant.conf -B
So how to enable mode n with wpa_supplicant? change another wifi card would help?
