Hello,

I'm just trying to set up a Fonera 2200 with B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced. Configuring a wireless interface in ad-hoc mode for B.A.T.M.A.N. works just fine, the mesh seems to be running stable with about 10 nodes. But whenever I try to add a second wireless interface that acts as an public access point, configuration fails. /etc/config/wireless looks as follows:

----------------
config wifi-device  wifi0
        option type     atheros
        option channel  auto

config wifi-iface       public
        option device   wifi0
        option network  lan
        option mode     ap
        option ssid     Public
        option encryption psk
        option key 53cr37

config wifi-iface       mesh
        option device   wifi0
        option mode    adhoc
        option ssid      batnet
        option encryption none
----------------

Whenever i bring the mesh interface up, the public WLAN ("Public") stops working and vice versa. I can connect to it for about a second but I always get disconnected soon after. I tried "ahdemo" mode for the mesh device but that didn't help. Also, doing all steps to manually bring up the two devices had the same result.

I think this is a pretty common problem but I didn't find a clear answer in this forum so maybe anyone of you can give me a hint?

Thanks a lot!
