after setting mesh gate, mesh link has been severed(-67)

[lingyunli63]

mp1 (laptop1) and mp2 build up a mesh network and works fine.
i want make loptop1 a bridge between mesh and ethernet. so i do the following on laptop1,

mpp$ brctl addbr br0
mpp$ brctl stp br0 off
mpp$ brctl addif br0 eth1
mpp$ brctl addif br0 $MESH_IFACE
mpp$ ifconfig $MESH_IFACE down
mpp$ ifconfig eth1 down
mpp$ ifconfig $MESH_IFACE 0.0.0.0 up
mpp$ ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 up
mpp$ ifconfig br0 ${MESH_IP}

then command
iw dev $MESH_IFACE set mesh_param mesh_hwmp_rootmode=4
it replys
command failed: Link has been severed(-67)

to check
comand iwconfig, it shows
br0 no wireless extensions.

what is the problem?

Check bridge interface whether your mesh interface has been added.

Bridging by right should be layer 2 or MAC routing. The mesh devices over your wireless network should be able to obtain its IP address from DNS server from your wired site. It all depends on how you configure your router.
