It is an 802.11s-compliant MAC-layer mesh. Of course, you're free to run mesh routing protocols over an IBSS network, but that's not what they mean by mesh in that list of supported features. Adding support for HT rates under IBSS is ongoing, outside of anything you'll find in compat-wireless. So, you're correct in that 802.11n and IBSS do not work together yet. I believe the same is true for the 802.11s mesh. Brian
