Hi,
I'm currently testing Miraclecast
(https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast), an open source
Wifi-Display/Miracast implementation.
In one of my setups, I'm using a carl9170 device as sink, which fails
with the following debugging output:

Searching the web for similar problems leads to the following thread:
https://marc.info/?l=hostap&m=135336063022534
As suggested there, I have patched the Miraclecast sources to use the
wpa_supplicant configuration parameter p2p_no_group_iface=1.
So far, this works fine.
