Hi,
if the wireless interface is operation in AP mode, WPS can be
initiated, but it does not work with the brcmfmac driver. I wonder, if
WPS should work in AP mode anyway? At least, the brcmfmac driver prints
some error messages:
"""
[ 2205.581521] brcmfmac: brcmf_vif_set_mgmt_ie: vndr ie set error : -30
[ 2205.589314] brcmfmac: brcmf_config_ap_mgmt_ie: Set Beacon IE Failed
"""
The configuration:
"""
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
update_config=1
network={
ssid="AP"
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=2
id_str="ap"
}
"""
Steps to reproduce:
"""
# uname -r
4.9.12
# wpa_supplicant -v
wpa_supplicant v2.6
#
# modprobe brcmfmac
# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B
# wpa_cli

"""
The issue has been reported to the linux-wireless mailing list [1].
So, should WPS work in AP mode?
