I have Mint 20.1 with the 5.4.0-72 kernel and in the current version 5.8.7.4 it is not possible to set the 4addr on: RTNETLINK answers: command failed: Operation not supported (-95).

I need to be able to duplicate the problem. Please provide a list of steps that will allow me to duplicate the problem. Also, give a general idea what you are trying to accomplish.

I have a system with Mint 20.1 and an adapter that runs this driver.

Regards.

I use a simple commands: iw dev phy#4 Interface wlan0 ifindex 14 wdev 0x400000001 addr 1c:bf:ce:35:a1:fc type managed txpower 42949572.96 dBm ip link set wlan0 up iw wlan0 set 4addr on command failed: Operation not supported (-95) or ip link set wlan0 down iw wlan0 set 4addr on command failed: Operation not supported (-95)

I need add wlan0 to the bridge. Thanks!

sartorius,

I am very busy today but I will point you to an issue that was resolved in another of my repos:

https://github.com/morrownr/8812au/issues/9

While not exactly the same issue, the basic idea may be the same. Just because it isn't working one way doesn't mean another way won't work. Something that I am only too aware of is that these Realtek drivers are not Linux Wireless standards compliant so they don't always work the official way and sometimes they simply lack features.

I use usb wifi adapters that use Realtek drivers and also usb wifi adapters that use in-kernel drivers. I prefer the adapters with in-kernel drivers as they work the way I expect. It can be frustrating working with these Realtek drivers.

Is this issue still active?
