Hello! mwifiex kernel driver has currently hardcoded maximal number of AP interfaces to 3. It is defined by MWIFIEX_MAX_UAP_NUM constant and '.max' member in 'mwifiex_ap_sta_limits' structure. I tried to increase this limit and figured out that SD8997 card can create four independent BSSIDs in AP mode. Not only 3. Scanning for wifi networks on another device proved that SD8997 was really broadcasting 4 SSIDs. When I tried to create fifth AP interface/SSID then mwifiex received error "mwifiex_cmd_timeout_func: Timeout cmd id = 0x4d, act = 0x1" and then card firmware crashed. SDIO card was then unregistered from bus. I would like to increase maximal number of AP interface to 4 as it is supported by SD8997 card. But it cannot be done easily as for other cards managed by mwifiex driver which do not support more then 3 ap interfaces, it can cause problems... Looks like that maximal number of AP interfaces is firmware dependent number. Do you know if it is possible to retrieve this maximal count from card firmware via some special command? Or do you know how to determinate maximal number of AP interfaces?
