Have you tried to start and shut down the service multiple times? How do you implement your hostapd.service? I haven't tried bridging, but the configuration for system services seems to be wrong. It happened multiple times. I tried countless times with the 5.4 kernel and it never failed, even by terminating the process.

This is the current normal version output: Linux orangepizero3 5.4.125 #1.0.8 SMP Wed Mar 19 23:35:12 CST 2025 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux To investigate this issue, I continued to use Armbian_25.5.2_Orangepizero3_bookworm_current_6.12.30-homeassistant_minimal.img Then uname -a output: Linux orangepizero3 6.12.30-current-sunxi64 #2 SMP Thu May 22 12:29:54 UTC 2025 aarch64 GNU/Linux

The historical archive of armbian orange pi zero 3 seems to have been lost. I am currently using the 5.4 official image.

Has anyone encountered this problem? I reproduced this problem on the 6.1 kernel image, and finally I returned to the 5.4 historical image, and hostapd ran normally.

I tried the following commands, but none of them worked. Only when I rebooted the device did hostapd start correctly. ip link set wlan0 down ip link set wlan0 up rfkill unblock wifi systemctl stop NetworkManager systemctl stop wpa_supplicant

It doesn't work. The wlan0 status is on. I think it's a kernel driver problem.

Every time the device is turned on, I can start hostapd for the first time. When I ctrl-terminate, the next time I start hostapd, I get an error message: Failed to set beacon parameters Interface initialization failed wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->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
