I want to bridge a Mesh Point configured via wpa_supplicant, so I do the same
like bridging an Access Point configured via hostapd:
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 up
ifconfig br0 up
ifconfig wlan0 down
/usr/sbin/iw dev wlan0 set type mp
ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 up
brctl addif br0 wlan0
wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D nl80211 -c
/root/wpa_supplicant_mesh.conf -b br0 –dddd
And here is my wpa_supplicant_mesh.conf:
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="LG-mesh2_4"
mode=5
frequency=2437
key_mgmt=SAE
psk="secretPSK"
}
When I start this setup wpa_supplicant is not able to start, I think this is
because I set the type of wlan0 to mp and bridge it to br0.
wpa_supplicant wants to set the interface to the station-mode (I don’t know
why) and I think this is not possible if the wlan0 interface is bridged.
Here is the log of wpa_supplicant:

Don't think that we have this limitation using wpa_supplicant.
What's problem you are facing?

Hi!
I successfully build up a secure mesh network (Mesh Portal bridged to Ethernet
and several Mesh Points) with authsae.
Now because wpa_supplicant 2.4 also supports Mesh, I wanted to test it. The
secure connection between Mesh Points
is possible, however a Mesh Portal bridged to Ethernet is not possible.
Has anyone experience with wpa_supplicant and a Mesh Point bridged to Ethernet?
Thanks,
Lukas Göstl
