802.11ac mode with hostapd. #116

Did anybody manage to make 802.11ac accesspoint with this driver? The hardware seems to support it, so it should be possible, but I'm getting an error as soon as I enable ac.

This seems to be related to the lack of support of 5GHz in this driver. Could you make 802.11bgn access point with this driver?

With g, it's running stably.

Hi, I'm trying to run hostapd with this driver. Can you please share your configuration? Thanks!

@bragma From kernel 5.19, the official driver works fine with 802.11ac AP mode as well. But this is the 802.11g config.

bridge=br0
ssid=ssid
wpa_passphrase=pass
country_code=US
ctrl_interface_group=0
interface=wlp2s0
driver=nl80211
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
wmm_enabled=1
wpa=3
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
hw_mode=g
channel=3

Hi @smekkley, thanks for sharing. Can you also run AP+STA at the same time?
