brcmfmac crashes in AP mode

[moham96]

Hi, Trying to make the wifi chip to work in ap fails and the driver/firmware seems to fail at setting the beacon settings

running hostapd gives this error:

wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE 
Failed to set beacon parameters 
wlan0: Could not connect to kernel driver

and the driver threw this in the kernel log

ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_cfg80211_start_ap: Beacon Interval Set Error, -52

Is this issue specific to the wifi chips on the MacBook air (driver/firmware issue) or is this a general issue in the brcmfmac and should be reported to the brcmfmac maintainers?

Regards

I'm having the same -52 error simply by using a WiFi network:
