secondary AP not running if in STA mode

Open alex-eri opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

STA works, but without WDS support

OpenWrt 19.07.4, r11208-ce6496d796, MediaTek MT7628AN ver:1 eco:2, Linux 4.14.195

in log I have many lines

daemon.err hostapd: Failed to set beacon parameters
daemon.notice hostapd: handle_probe_req: send failed

Don't count on WDS: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/[email protected]/

But this is some kind of old version of WDS: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/[email protected]/ _The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g.

  • no encryption is possible on such links
  • it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation
  • management APIs are very restricted

These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice.

All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support, so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future.

Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS. This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code, which is the ultimate goal) in the future._

Problem exists with WDS off. I tryed pseudobridge with relayd too.

Similar issue here on GL-MT1300 (MT7615D) 2.4Ghz when trying to use STA/AP on the same radio.
