Hi all,
I'm using USB wireless adapters with the driver ath9k_htc. I know that there is a hard limit of 8 stations. I successfully build up a secure mesh network with authsae and also with the newest version of wpa_supplicant up to 8 nodes. However, a higher number of nodes leads to problems because of one-way authentication of the nodes. Now I want to increase the number of nodes in an area with this driver and I´m considering this: · If there are more than 8 nodes in an area, the nodes authenticate each other only to the limit of 8 neighbours. · Further the nodes authenticate in a way, that every node in the area is connected to at least one member of the mesh network. · If every node connects to different neighbours, every node could be reached directly, or over other nodes. · So if the limit of 8 stations is reached, all other nodes in the area which are not connected directly, are like nodes which are not in the area and should be reachable over other members of the mesh network. So could this scenario be possible? Thanks, Lukas
