Armbianmonitor:
Hi,
I'm using an Orange PI ZERO HC2 + and usb (mt7601u) wifi dongle to create a hotspot.
The configuration is as follow
<HOTSPOT>WLAN0 [ Orange PI ZERO HC2+] WLAN1 <connected to my box>
At startup when hostapd is launched to create the hotspot i get the following output . See below <HOSTAPD ERROR>.
My hostapd.conf is below.
Wlan0 use for xradio_wlan as physical driver
Wlan1 use for mt7601 as physical drive
I did some testing. I have the exact same config with a pi3.
And have no problem.
I tested the hostapd provided with the orange pi on the pi3, it works no problem.
On the orange PI, If i do it the other way round :
wlan1 to deal with hotspot, wlan0 to connect to my box.
<HOTSPOT>WLAN1 [ Orange PIZERO ] WLAN0 <connected to my box>
I get the same error.
So its does not depend on the underneath driver ( wradio_wlan, or mt7601u).
So it looks like something fishy with the driver nl80211 declared in the hostapd.conf.
Any help would be appreciated.
Note: i guess its easy to reproduce, use my hostapd.conf below: hostapd myhostapd.conf

Hi
I would like to install the following module: mt7601u
Unfortunatly i need kernel-hearders at least for this , i think
My hardware is an Orange Pi Zero HC2+
My system realease is as follow
PRETTY_NAME="Armbian 21.05.2 Buster"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"Any idea ?
Incompatibility issues between nl80811 driver and hostapd
in Allwinner sunxi
Posted
Hi,
I did some more test using another wifi dongle.
I manage to get the hostapd to work
with a wifi dongle using a rt2800usb driver and disabled the ht_capap in hostapd.conf.
Configuration file: nfx-hostapd.conf
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 00:25:86:e7:68:35 and ssid "CHEZLAUTRE"
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED
# Works !
So this looks like a dudgy negociation between the nl80811 and undrelying drivers
like xradio_wlan (the onboard wlan interface) or/and mt7601 driver.
It's really weird
