Linux 6.1.92 - wlan0 losing it's IP address

[chrisvollorenew]

Hello, I am running 6.1.92 and using commit f3df449fbfb5d41974fcb192c9eaf9fa43ffb1b0 (latest at time of writing).

I manually assign an IP address to the adapter using the command "ip addr ..." , then I launch hostapd so the adapter is in AP mode.

After some time, the adapter loses it's IP address, and I see this in the logs:

[  307.095448] RTW: WARN cfg80211_rtw_scan (wlan0) : scan abort!! BusyTraffic

[  428.202192] RTW: assoc success
[  428.206670] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready

Why is this happening?

Ok, I did a bit more testing and oddly this only appears to be the case when I have the networkmanager package installed. If I don't install networkmanager then the adapter keeps it's ip address. Any ideas why? I would still be nice to fix it if we can

[chrisvollorenew]

Ok, it appears this is probably entirely related to the NetworkManager service. If I tell it to ignore wlan0 it fixes the issue. It is still a mystery to me why it happens exactly at the same timeout as the ap_max_inactivity=300 ...

Hi, that sounds like you did not disable DHCP in NetworkManager.
