I can't spot a problem in the above command (except maybe that I would
have picked a shorter interface name for convenience).  Maybe you can
try to issue to use iw against the phy instead of the device to create
the mesh interface.  If you issue 'iw phy' you will get information
about the radios on your system.  If you only have one and have just
rebooted, it will probably be called phy0.  Then you can issue the
same command as above replacing 'dev wlan0' with 'phy phy<N>'.
