No DEPENDS at all, but the description below (line 35) advertises "Point to multi-point vxlan tunneling is provided by default". The daemon builds the tunnel with ip -6 link add ... type vxlan and gates the whole feature on two packages being installed:

package_list="ip-full vxlan"
check_package_list

if [ "$ip_full" -eq 0 ] && [ "$vxlan" -eq 0 ]; then # we have the required packages for vxlan and it is enabled

(src/mesh11sd:629, same check at lines 2745, 3797 and 6380)

Neither ip-full nor vxlan is in DEFAULT_PACKAGES, and nothing else pulls them in — so on a fresh install the advertised default feature is silently off, with only a syslog line to say so. vxlan already depends on kmod-vxlan, so two entries cover it:

Suggested change
PKGARCH:=all
DEPENDS:=+ip-full +vxlan
PKGARCH:=all

Alternatively, if the degraded mode is meant to be the supported default, dropping "by default" from the description would make that clear.

For the record, I checked iw too — the script uses it unconditionally (iw dev, mesh_param, mpath) and it is not in DEFAULT_PACKAGES either, but kmod-cfg80211 depends on +iw, so any board with a wifi driver already has it transitively. Adding +iw explicitly would be tidier but is not a functional gap.

@bluewavenet Since you are using this package and most likely, you have it installed on several routers, could you confirm it?

Hmm, @bluewavenet respondented that there are optional dependencies here:

define Package/mesh11sd/description
Mesh11sd autonomously manages all aspects of an 802.11s mesh network.
It acts as a service daemon.
Mesh parameters are dynamically set across all nodes.
Point to multi-point vxlan tunneling is provided by default.
Custom vlan trunking over the vxlan tunnel is fully supported.
Cabled sections of backhaul are fully supported.
Access Point usage data is collected in a central database.
A command line interface is provided for many functions.
An optional Customer/Client Premises Equipment (CPE) mode is provided
CPE mode greatly simplifies rollout of community WISP projects.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix - do not run get_current_setup until after version
argument

get_current_setup() runs before any argument is parsed, so mesh11sd -v
and mesh11sd -h collect the whole runtime environment first. That
includes refresh_bridgemac(), which calls wait_for_interface() for
br-lan; when that interface is not up, the poll loop runs for the full
interface_timeout, ten seconds by default.

On a running router br-lan is up, the loop exits on its first iteration
and the delay is invisible. It shows up wherever the interface is absent
or still coming up, such as the OpenWrt package CI, which probes every
installed executable for its version with a ten second timeout.

Handle the informational options first and exit, then run the setup for
the options that need it.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix -licence discrepancy

The script header claimed GPL version 3 or later, while the LICENSE file
the project ships is GPL version 2. Make the header agree with it.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix - typo in get_current_setup() getting apmond_cgi_dir

The length was taken from $apmon_cgi_dir, which is never set, so strlen
was always 0 and the trailing slash check read the wrong character.
