Ideally we should have just brcmfmac fixed. Unfortunately I have doubts if we can hope for that. Broadcom added support for multiple BSSes in late 2014 and since then it was in a kind of poor state (buggy). It easily goes into some inconsistent & unreliable state. I think Broadcom even released BCM43602 firmware with some special modifications to make it work with brcmfmac. I'll see again if there is anything I can do about that, I'll get back to you in few days. -- Rafał _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
