With the current kernel shipped in the latest BeagleBone image, encrypted mesh networking is not possible with wl18xx devices. To add this support two patches from TI are required. See the following post in TI's Wi-Fi Forum for details:

WL1835MOD: 802.11s MESH + SAE with BeagleBone Green Wireless

The two patches supplied by TI do not apply cleanly on top of 4.19 sources, but need only some small adjustments. I attach a slightly modified patch that I've applied with success over git tag 4.19.94-ti-r42:

@RobertCNelson @jadonk should we consider this for the next release?

@JoseGoncalves thanks, here is a new page with information about upcoming releases:

These and other mesh related patches are now available in TI's Git repository:

tracing/hist: Fix out-of-bound write on 'action_data.var_ref_idx'
0cb31bd 
commit 82470f7 upstream.

When generate a synthetic event with many params and then create a trace
action for it [1], kernel panic happened [2].

It is because that in trace_action_create() 'data->n_params' is up to
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX (current value is 64), and array 'data->var_ref_idx'
keeps indices into array 'hist_data->var_refs' for each synthetic event
param, but the length of 'data->var_ref_idx' is TRACING_MAP_VARS_MAX
(current value is 16), so out-of-bound write happened when 'data->n_params'
more than 16. In this case, 'data->match_data.event' is overwritten and
eventually cause the panic.

To solve the issue, adjust the length of 'data->var_ref_idx' to be
SYNTH_FIELDS_MAX and add sanity checks to avoid out-of-bound write.
