Dear all,
When I use "iw dev wlan0 link" to get information on wlan0 (basically to
check the channel used on wlan0),
it says: " Not connected "
Can someone tell me how to fix this?
Many thanks.

Refer to:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw#Getting_link_status
And then:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw#Establishing_a_basic_connection
What you really want to use is:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/wpa_supplicant

Luis, thanks for the reply. But actually we're working on mesh nodes
with the iw-tool installed, so maybe we should use the "mesh" interface
mode. In this case, how to solve the problem?
Thanks, zhongliang

Note for ath9k you currently have to issue a scan to kick the card to
beacon, its a bug, not dealt with yet.
