channels are hoping one to another

[gyillikci]

hello,

My setup is rpi3b and also observed the behaviour on rpi4. I used the svpcom-rtl8812au repo and installed it.

I set the wlan channel to 100 and when I give the command iwlist wlan1 channel i get it as expected

Current Frequency:5.5 GHz (Channel 100)

after I start the tx_Standalone.sh

iw wlan1 info shows that the channel changes constantly as below

is this expected a behaviour?

Thanks

No. Check that device listed in networkmanager config as ignored.

Thanks,

I think, Its because of the network manager and not denying wlan0
