This patch breaks encrypted mesh mode.
I agree, there is still something wrong with the logic when using encrypted
mesh.
Also the setting of the mesh parameters fails, because nl80211_mesh_join must
happen before nl80211_update_mesh_config. This results in these errors:
---
netifd: radio1 (6314): command failed: Link has been severed (-67)
---
Originating from net/wireless/nl80211.c:nl80211_update_mesh_config():6133
through calling in 'iw set mesh_params' at /lib/netifd/wireless/mac80211.sh:678
When using mesh without encryption this is not an issue, because
'iw mesh_join' is called before 'iw set mesh_params'
in '/lib/netifd/wireless/mac80211.sh:678
With encryption the setting of the parameters need to happen after
wpa_supplicant triggered nl80211_mesh_join.
But I don't know how to solve this properly yet either...
