I'm currently facing what seems to be the very same bug reported at https://lore.kernel.org/iwd/AM7PR01MB67244F63EBEAB9A65D965BEAADC69@AM7PR01MB6724.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com/ As for my own context, I'm using: - Ublox wifi module Jody-W377-00A - IWD v1.26 (from meta-openembedded) - Linux v6.1.68 (x86_64) - NXP Wi-Fi driver for NXP 88W9098 chipset, from github.com/nxp-imx/mwifiex (branch=lf-6.1.55_2.2.0) I followed the steps in https://iwd.wiki.kernel.org/ap_mode, and this is the error I get in my iwctl console: # iwctl NetworkConfigurationEnabled: enabled StateDirectory: /var/lib/iwd Version: 1.26 [iwd]# device muap0 set-property Mode ap [iwd]# device list Devices                                   * --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Name                Address             Powered   Adapter Mode --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   uap0                62:09:c3:80:9b:1d   on        mwiphy0 ap   mlan0              60:09:c3:80:9a:1d   on        mwiphy0 station   muap0             62:09:c3:80:9b:1e   on        mwiphy1 ap   mmlan0           60:09:c3:80:9a:1e   on        mwiphy1 station [iwd]# ap list                           Devices in Access Point Mode                        * --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Name                Started --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   uap0                no   muap0             no [iwd]# ap muap0 start-profile testap [iwd]# [22444.663032] wlan: Starting AP [22444.668197] fw doesn't support 11ax [22444.674130] CMD_RESP: cmd 0xb1 error, result=0x1 [22444.679286] IOCTL failed: 00000000ae152881 id=0x20000, sub_id=0x20001 action=1, status_code=0x1 [22444.689145] woal_cfg80211_add_beacon: start uap failed Operation failed My /var/lib/iwd/ap/testap.ap file is identical to the one provided in the Wiki, and as for my main.conf: --- [General] EnableNetworkConfiguration=true UseDefaultInterface=true [Network] [Scan] DisablePeriodicScan=true --- I tried adding Country=FR and ControlPortOverNL80211=false, but without any success. I also added DisableHT=true in the testap.ap file later on, but the result was the same. However, I was able to start the Access Point using hostapd, and it worked fine. I can provide you with my hostapd.conf, if you find it pertinent. Since referencing the original thread, are there any updates? Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Even if the chipset is not precisely the same. Please feel free to ask for logs or other unmentioned details, and thank you for your assistance. -- Best regards, João Marcos Costa
