Hello, 

i have a question concerning mesh module . i  apologize in advance if it seems stupid . i want to use 802.11s as data link protocol but as routing protocol i want to use olsr not default hwmp wich is operate in link layer . is it feasible . 

thank you  .

I'm not a huge expert, but according to Wikipedia "802.11s inherently depends on one of 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, or 802.11ax to carry the actual traffic."

Basically 802.11s __is__ the routing protocols. If you take them out and use OLSR you'll have a "normal" 802.11 network with OLSR. Totally legitimate, but it's not 802.11s.

In other terms, 802.11s does not define a data link protocol, so you can't use it as a data link protocol.
