Hi, sorry for sending again but mailing list rejected last mail I found a weird problem in LEDE 17.01 with an ath9k device and reported it at https://bugs.lede-project.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=550 . But it looks like it is a bug in hostapd/wpa_supplicant because I cannot reproduce it when using authsae. Test setup is a bridge with two devices in it. One encrypted AP and one encrypted mesh point. Both devices are using the same ath9k phy. I did the tests with the attached files placed under /va/run/. The following steps were done. Both hostapd and wpa_supplicant were run on different terminals ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mkdir -p /var/run/hostapd/ iw phy phy0 interface add ap-2 type managed ip link set address ac:86:74:00:00:01 dev ap-2 ip link set up dev ap-2 iw phy phy0 interface add mesh-2 type mp ip link set address ae:86:74:00:00:01 dev mesh-2 ip link set up dev mesh-2 ip link add name br-lan type bridge brctl addif br-lan mesh-2 ip link set br-lan up /usr/sbin/hostapd -s -P /var/run/wifi-phy0.pid /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -b br-lan -P /var/run/wpa_supplicant-mesh-2.pid -D nl80211 -i mesh-2 -c /var/run/wpa_supplicant-mesh-2.conf -C /var/run/wpa_supplicant -H /var/run/hostapd/ap-2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The output of iw was following (and the AP didn't work): ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ phy#0 Interface mesh-2 ifindex 7 wdev 0x3 addr ae:86:74:00:00:01 type mesh point channel 1 (2412 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2412 MHz txpower 20.00 dBm Interface ap-2 ifindex 6 wdev 0x2 addr ac:86:74:00:00:01 type AP txpower 20.00 dBm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I tested for a general driver problem by running the test again with authsae as replacement for wpa_supplicant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ mkdir -p /var/run/hostapd/ iw phy phy0 interface add ap-2 type managed ip link set address ac:86:74:00:00:01 dev ap-2 ip link set up dev ap-2 iw phy phy0 interface add mesh-2 type mp ip link set address ae:86:74:00:00:01 dev mesh-2 ip link set up dev mesh-2 ip link add name br-lan type bridge brctl addif br-lan mesh-2 ip link set br-lan up /usr/sbin/hostapd -s -P /var/run/wifi-phy0.pid /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf /usr/bin/meshd-nl80211 -i mesh-2 -s mymesh -c /var/run/authsae-mesh-2.cfg ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The AP works fine and the iw output is: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ phy#0 Interface mesh-2 ifindex 7 wdev 0x3 addr ae:86:74:00:00:01 type mesh point channel 1 (2412 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2412 MHz txpower 20.00 dBm Interface ap-2 ifindex 6 wdev 0x2 addr ac:86:74:00:00:01 ssid meshedAP type AP channel 1 (2412 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2412 MHz txpower 20.00 dBm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I also tested if the AP works fine before starting wpa_supplicant. This seems to be the case. It only breaks after starting the wpa_supplicant.
