Hi everybody,

Ok, could you please try the attached patch? Just add it to the other patches (you can omit 03-... after a successful test. But it may reveal interesting information if that wasn't the actual problem). Don't forget to cleanup your openwrt build environment.

Best regards, Sven

the patch seems to work. Just did some basic testing and was able to build up a network, even with the devices running older versions. I will continue testing within the next few days, but now I need to focus on creating a presentation for Wednesday.

I also added the output of dmesg:
