I currently have a mesh/802.11s setup using two google pucks (one is wired, the other is not). The setup is very simple on the google devices. AC/36/80MHz with mesh ID 1, WPA3-SAE encryption. Then I use gre to tunnel my vlans from the unit not wired.
I just picked up a 3825i, and when I add the mesh point using the same settings (using radio0) the interface info on the left shows disabled, but the interface is enabled and bound to lan which is up. wpad-basic-mbedtls is installed (was by default). Not sure what I am missing. I have many google pucks and was just able to add one to the mesh with the same setup as a test.
I am running 24.10.1 but also tried 23.05
Doing a scan on radio0 I can see the mesh network as well as normal ssid's
The same setup on extreme 3935 works also.
Even though my 3935 appears to be working, the console is getting spammed majorly with this warning

Problem is you have missed out the useful part, ie the few lines before what you posted.....
Please show the output of uci show wireless.
Hi @bluewavenet thanks for the reply. The output above was my 3935 which is working, I probably should have started another thread for that. Thats the entire message between the snips.
For the 3825i, here is the wireless and network.

I did a restart of the radio0 when consoled in and now I can see something to track down.

ath10k
Ah yes. You need to change to the non-ct drivers for mesh support.
removed ath10k-ct and installed kmod-ath10k / ath10k-firmware-qca988x
Mesh is up now, will continue to the next hurdle
