Hi Arend,

We've encountered this issue in the past, and resolved it by passing the wpa_supplicant a P2P specific configuration file using the -m option. Try using -m but do not populate it with any network blocks that are not P2P groups.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, Ilan

Got the hint from brcm colleague as well.

Regards,
Arend

I am running some tests on a haswell target with Android KitKat
(3.10.20 kernel). In this configuration our brcmfmac driver is used
with driver param 'p2p_device=1'. So we end up with wlan0 and
p2p-dev-wlan0 interfaces (can blame myself for that). The
configuration has a network configured, but I did not expect
wpa_supplicant to start association using the p2p device interface.
The wlan0 interface is already connected to the AP. How can I fix this
to assure p2p-dev-wlan0 is only used for p2p management scenarios.

Hmm.. Can you please show the wpa_supplicant command line that is used
here and describe how that network block gets configured for the
p2p-dev-wlan0 "interface"? I would have expected that there would never
be a configuration with an enabled network block being passed for the P2P
management interface.. Internally, wpa_supplicant should not add such for
P2P groups, but I don't think there is any filtering on configuration if
something is externally trying to make wpa_supplicant use that management
interface for a station mode connection.
