Mesh setting on atheros driver

Hi all,

I'm playing with the new 2.0 RC1 and I'd like to test the mesh functionality of mini-pci wireless ath. My atheros board is a mikrotik 52h and it is recognized at boot time as:

ath0: <atheros 5413="">mem 0xe0040000-0xe004ffff irq 9 at device 12.0 on pci0
ath0: [ITHREAD]
ath0: AR5413 mac 10.5 RF5413 phy 6.1

So when I try to setup the interface as mesh interface I get this message:
MBSS is not supported.
I don't know if it is a hardware limitation or something is missing in the kernel driver of this distribution.
Could someone help me to understand what I can do to find out the solution?

Thanks in advance</atheros>
