[issue #7] roaming in mesh networks

yes

ok, please add dd option and share the wpa_supplicant output when performing scan

Hi @loic,

Tried to use dd command for wpa_spplicant (Linaro-18.01) but it is now showing additional output when we do scan and rssi for connected AP TP-Link_8A6D remains same -49.

root@linaro-alip:~# wpa_cli -iwlan0 scan && sleep 20 && wpa_cli -iwlan0 scan_results
OK

If you think it’s a kernel issue, maybe you should try to update kernel and module to latest release one (5.7) + your custom changes on top (keeping distro/rootfs 18.01). That would confirm issue is not related to wpa_supplicant.

Hi @Loic

Yes we have tried that, As I mentioned earlier we have checked the issue with Linaro-20.02 (latest -5.7 kernel + our custom changes) on our G2 custom board only and not faced this issue.

So, taking that as a reference, we are looking for a related change (from linaro-18.01 to linaro-20.02(5.7 kernel)) which can help us to resolve the issue. We have also tried to apply below change and checked but it did not work.

If you can provide any direction/suggestion, it would be a lot helpful to us.

Regards.

We only support latest release, not 18.01.
