Wifi advanced features do not work on your 6.9-rc #119

Open jcdutton opened 8 months ago

jcdutton commented 8 months ago

Notice the hostapd.conf file extract below. All the lines that are commented out with # are not recognised on 6.9-rc but are recognised on openwrt for the BPI-R3. I don't know if this is a hostapd problem or a 6.9-rc problem.

He options are for ax mode and need afaik self compiled hostapd in debian based systems,see thread in bpi forum

I compiled my own hostapd, and now it lets me uncomment "ieee80211ax=1" It still does not like the rest of the parameters, with the kernel saying they are invalid or out of range. The wifi link is at least up now and forwarding packets. My aim is to get your kernel, that is close to mainline, working with all the same parameters that openwrt can handle.

Maybe this helps: https://community.solid-run.com/t/hostapd-and-wifi-6e/586/10

Maybe kernel itself also needs ax support

Have you made progress here? How have you compiled hostapd (debian sources or crosscompile)?
