These are the changes applied to mac80211-next: - Revert "mac80211: in IBSS use the Auth frame to trigger STA reinsertion" - mac80211: make mgmt_tx accept a NULL channel - brcm80211: make mgmt_tx in brcmfmac accept a NULL channel - ath6kl: make mgmt_tx accept a NULL channel - nl80211: allow sending CMD_FRAME without specifying any frequency
and these are the patched pending for hostapd: - Support not specifying the frame frequency. - Register for AUTH frames when joining an IBSS network - Improve the IBSS/RSN mechanism However I do not know if they correctly apply on the mac80211 and hostapd versions existing in AA. For the workflow: I don't know how the guys in Openwrt moves new patches from trunk to AA. You should ask them. For the wpa2+adhoc+batman: batman does not change anything in this scenario, either wpa2+adhoc works or does not (despite batman-adv). I hope this helped.
