Hi,
I'm trying to set up multiple wlan interfaces for my Orange Pi Zero Plus2 H5. I want to have a interface in AP mode and a interface in Managed Mode ... so that I can provide a minimal "register me into your wlan" AP and the other interface can try that provided wlan credentials without reusing/ turning off / reconfigurating the AP interface. So I want to run a normal hostapd on wlan1 and a wpa_supplicant on wlan0 ...
When I'm using the iw list command, I get serveral "valid interface combination", one is
* #{ managed } <=1 , #{ AP } <= 1, #{ P2P-client } <= 1, #{ P2P-device} <= 1, #total <= 4, #channel <= 1
afaik that means that I can run one managed (Station) interface and one AP interface with same channel, but it should be totally possible
on starting up I've got one wlan0 interface in managed mode, when I'm now trying to add a new interface (iw phy0 interface add wlan1 type managed) I got a error "Device or resource busy" which is totally correct, because there can only be one managed interfache
when I turn on the hostapd process on wlan0, it changes that interface to AP mode (I've confirmed this using iw dev), so I'm trying to add now a new interface (iw phy0 interface add wlan1 type managed), but I got a other Error "Operation not supported".
So now the question:
- Is my general assumption, that the orange pi zero plus2 can run multiple wlan interfaces right ? Since when I'm trying to add more that supported interfaces I got other error than the case, when in my opinion the prerequests are ok... if this is generall not possible I guess I got other errors.
- Do I anything wrong with configurating or did I missed some prequests ?
- Since the armbian for the h5 is in development, maybe there might be also some issue about the driver etc ?
- has anyone succedded with such a usecase on this board ?
Thanks in advance
