Hi, all:
Today I just upgraded my packages as normal, by using "apt update && apt upgrade", on my RockPi 4B (legacy kernel), and I saw there was a hostapd package updated. However, after this upgrade, my hostapd won't start anymore now:
Configuration file: /etc/hostapd.conf
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->COUNTRY_UPDATE
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 6c:21:a2:37:ff:1a and ssid "RockPi-Armbian"
Failed to set beacon parameters
Interface initialization failed
wlan0: interface state COUNTRY_UPDATE->DISABLED
wlan0: AP-DISABLED
wlan0: Unable to setup interface.
wlan0: interface state DISABLED->DISABLED
wlan0: AP-DISABLED
wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface wlan0 wasn't started
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0
The culprit might be "Failed to set beacon parameters", but not for sure, even if I search on Google and still couldn't figure it out. The following is the output of "sudo armbianmonitor -U":

Not sure if it's a RockPi specific or common issue. If you need more information, just tell me. Thanks.
