Subject: WDS interface always busy, cannot be brought up
Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 11:34:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <56609943.7010408@esteem.com> (raw)
commit 65a124dd719d6e90591e4756bb04e1719489705e prevents WDS interface
type from bring brought up.
Simple Test:
before this you must have a AP interface, I used hostapd to create it so
I don't have a single liner to show that.
iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0wds0 type wds
ip link set dev wlan0wds0 address 00:11:22:33:44:55
iw dev wlan0wds0 set peer 00:66:77:88:99:AA
ifconfig wlan0wds0 up
Konsole output ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy
The commit: says it checks for channel availability.
WDS do not use there own channels. They use the channel of the ap
interface that already exists,
because of this cfg80211_check_combinations will always return -EBUSY.
That do to this test statement
if (num == 0)
return -EBUSY;
