And you want setup sta + sap + sap, right?
Your proposed interface combination fails as well for me if I am just
setting 2APs.
When up the second sap will meet error? Could you pls share the error
logs?
This is the log that is appearing:
[ 61.909165] 8021q: 802.1Q VLAN Support v1.8
[ 62.227530] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to create vdev 3, reached max vdev limit 3
It is appearing after configuring both APs when only one AP is up and when
both are down (see my previous 'iw dev' outputs).
I'm not very sure if you add all interface with managed type, and do
"ifconfig xxx up" before running hostapd.
Yes, I am setting the link up before running hostapd.
You can try add second and third interface with
"iw dev xx interface add xx type __ap".
And yes, I am doing like that for both APs.
Pls try add interface with type __ap or directly use hostapd up the ap
interfaces that will re-type managed to ap.
Please, take into account that everything is working with the old interface
configuration and when it is set with the parameter (no error log), but it
is not working for me with your interface combination.
f019f4dff2e4 ("wifi: ath11k: support 2 station interfaces") update about
interface combination limits.
If chip support DBS, station interfaces max is 2 that why you can't up
the 3rd managed type interface. You better add interface with ap type.
Have you tried with 2.4GHz band?
2.4GHz works fine also.
