Hi,

i don't think there are people who will know the answer without research
and reading the code.

Since you are willing to learn any way, fallow the codepath and find out
what is happening. We would be happy to have more wifi experts :)

Find out what executed in kernel if you start this command: "iw dev mesh
mpath dump". I assume it is starting somewhere in linux/net/wireless/mesh.c

Use printk() placed in code or use gdb+openocd+jtag if you use some arm
or mips system.
