I think that you need to look at net/mac80211/mesh_hwmp.c and
net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h

Try using cscope: install it, cd wireless-testing/net/mac80211, and
run "cscope -R" and the browse around

That's fine, but you should work with wireless-testing git to create
patches for upstream, it also represents the latest development
whereas compat-wireless is a snapshot.  Please refer to:
