I'm by no means a comms expert which is one of the reasons I've not
replied to this, I'd hoped someone with more knowledge would. Part of
the issue here is that hostapd and connmand have overlapping
functionality, conflicting in some cases.

So the question is why do we need hostapd if we have connman (which is
already in OE-Core)?

Cheers,

Richard
