[OpenWrt-Devel] beacon_int not working in Chaos Calmer in adhoc

[Ben West]

I've been trying out CC on an adhoc mesh of three UBNT M5 radios, and I've
been unable to specify the beacon interval in /etc/config/wireless.

Here is the /etc/config/wireless I'm using:

config wifi-device  radio0
        option type     mac80211
        option channel  36
        option hwmode   11a
        option path     'pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0'
        option htmode   HT20
        option country 'US'
        option beacon_int '500'
        list basic_rate '12000 18000 24000 36000 48000 54000'
        option diversity '1'
        option doth     '0'
        option disabled 0

config wifi-iface wlan0
        option device   radio0
        option network  'mesh'
        option mode 'adhoc'
        option mcast_rate '12000'
        option ssid     MyMesh
        option bssid '02:CA:FF:EE:BA:BE'
        option encryption 'psk2+aes'
        option key '...'

Under Chaos Calmer v46069 using packages hostapd, hostapd-common, and
wpa-supplicant, this is the /tmp/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf generated:

ap_scan=2
network={
        scan_ssid=0
        ssid="MyMesh"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        mode=1
        fixed_freq=1
        frequency=5180
        mode=1
        psk="..."
        proto=RSN
        bssid=02:CA:FF:EE:BA:BE
        mcast_rate=12
        htmode=HT20
}

By comparison, the same radios and same wireless config file, flashed with
Barrier Breaker r45620, have this /var/run/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
generated:

ap_scan=2
network={
        scan_ssid=0
        ssid="MyMesh"
        key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
        mode=1
        fixed_freq=1
        frequency=5180
        mode=1
        psk="..."
        proto=RSN
        bssid=02:CA:FF:EE:BA:BE
        beacon_int=500
        mcast_rate=12
}
