Seems very reproducible on my system.


WARNING: at /home/greearb/git/linux-3.3.dev.y/net/mac80211/driver-ops.h:10 ieee80211_bss_info_change_noti)

The warning means you're modifying an interface the driver doesn't (yet)
know about.

It's odd that you should be running into this on config_beacon() though
since that can only execute when the interface is up ... can you print
out the interface name in the warning?

This is still reproducible in 3.3.0-rc6+ from yesterday.


I create the VAP with this command:

./local/sbin/iw phy wiphy0 interface add vap0 type __ap


vap0:  Failed check-sdata-in-driver check, flags: 0x0

That's it? That doesn't create a warning here, and somehow you're
running into nl80211_set_wiphy() which isn't called if you execute just
that iw command.

Well, there's a lot of other stuff going on too.  Power is set, for one
thing, hostapd is started, etc.

I will see if I can come up with a easy way to reproduce this, but
it might be a few days as I'm stacked up with work at the moment.

Thanks,
Ben
