The old text indeed fooled me into thinking that only some pre- release version of the spec is implemented. It looks better now.

A little maintenance and changes happened via o11s until the 802.11s stuff was ratified, in, stable, etc... including by me and others at cozybit. You are correct - AFAIK, no one is updating that site, o11s.org is down and actually cozybit as an entity is no more either. And all of us are long elsewhere. > Since this Kconfig text was originally written, though, the 802.11s > mesh drafts were approved and ultimately rolled into 802.11 proper. > Meanwhile, the implementation has converged on the final standard, > so we can lose all of the text here and provide something that's a > little more helpful and accurate. > > Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <bobcopeland@fb.com> > --- > net/mac80211/Kconfig | 11 +++++------ > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/net/mac80211/Kconfig b/net/mac80211/Kconfig > index f869e35d0974..6b09355dfc90 100644 > --- a/net/mac80211/Kconfig > +++ b/net/mac80211/Kconfig > @@ -57,14 +57,13 @@ comment "Some wireless drivers require a rate control algorithm" > depends on MAC80211 && MAC80211_HAS_RC=n > > config MAC80211_MESH > - bool "Enable mac80211 mesh networking (pre-802.11s) support" > + bool "Enable mac80211 mesh networking support" > depends on MAC80211 > ---help--- > - This options enables support of Draft 802.11s mesh networking. > - The implementation is based on Draft 2.08 of the Mesh Networking > - amendment.

Lubomir Rintel recently pointed out a dead link for o11s.org, and repointed it to a still live, but also stale website. As far as I know, no one is updating the content at open80211s.org. Since this Kconfig text was originally written, though, the 802.11s mesh drafts were approved and ultimately rolled into 802.11 proper. Meanwhile, the implementation has converged on the final standard, so we can lose all of the text here and provide something that's a little more helpful and accurate.
