Oh, I didn't know that. But that's not suprising as almost all of AP
mode testing happens with 10.1 firmware.

Sure, it's just lack of time on my part. Any help with documentation
would be appreciated.

> Does AP firmware support plain STA operation?

Yes, but not that well tested.

I fully agree. This should be the first stage.

For the second stage I think we should try improve how to make it easier
to switch between firmwares (see my previous email).
