Hi
Thanks for reply Mr. chunyeow
in https://github.com/o11s/open80211s/wiki/HOWTO they not provided how to configure mesh access point.
they only provided to create mesh gate.

let me explain my problem more clearly, we have a created a mess network of 5 devices.
now we have to connect a 802.11 device to this mess network. unfortunately we have two create two wlan interface on mess access point. one interface for mesh network and second one for creating a Access point so that a 802.11 enabled device can connect mesh network.

please tell me how to create that connectivity between 802.11 interface and 802.11s interface.

Re-read the mesh gate section on https://github.com/o11s/open80211s/wiki/HOWTO. You can replace the Ethernet interface with your virtual access point. Both hostapd and wpa_supp should allow you to bridge to your intended bridge interface.

Check out the latest wpa_supp and use the default config file in the wpa_supplicant folder as your reference. For bridging, don't forget the "-b" while running the wpa_supp. You can check with "-h" to display the help text.
