RTL8723BS in AP mode gets kernel errors

Hello,

 

I'm unable to make the RTL8723BS chip on my Tinker Board to work on AP mode with the 5.4 kernel (same configuration works on legacy kernel).  When I try to connect I get this error on dmesg:

 

RTL8723BS: ap recv deauth reason code(3) sta:40:4e:36:cf:8a:18

 

On the console I also get a bunch of kernel errors similar to this:

 

Message from syslogd@localhost at Dec 27 14:26:11 ...
 kernel:[  799.239910] ff60: bf0377a4 dd8057e8 dd07ffac dd07ff78 c014a17c bf0377b0 de2d9128 de2d9128

 

 

Is this a known problem?

 

Thanks

No. This wireless driver is mainstreamed - check who is maintaining it if anyone ... 

At this point not sure if its related, but is is possible that we have some common problem:

I tried to create a patch for the tinker board following Igor example (see patch below), but the problem persists. Problem must be elsewhere.
