So the problem is:
- hostapd requests master mode on "wlan0" using netlink,
- it gets to nl80211_set_interface(), drv->ops->change_virtual_intf(),
ieee80211_change_iface() and then to ieee80211_if_change_type().
Then it fails with -EOPNOTSUPP.
int ieee80211_if_change_type(struct ieee80211_sub_if_data *sdata,
enum nl80211_iftype type)
{
ASSERT_RTNL();
if (type == sdata->vif.type)
return 0;
/* Setting ad-hoc mode on non-IBSS channel is not supported. */
if (sdata->local->oper_channel->flags & IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IBSS)
return -EOPNOTSUPP;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The flags are set to 6 = IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IBSS |
IEEE80211_CHAN_PASSIVE_SCAN
Unfortunately I don't know what does the above mean, except that
I don't want ad-hoc mode, I want AP instead.
Ideas?
