Wifi P2P on NanoPi Neo Air

[SteveH]

Hello,

 

I try to get WiFi P2P working on the Nano Pi Neo Air with a 4.x mainline kernel and so I tried the latest available nightly build "Armbian_5.24.170118_Nanopiair_Ubuntu_xenial_4.9.4.img" but I have problems to establish a connection.

 

Does anybody have WiFi P2P working on the Nano PI Neo Air? The problem seems be a problem with the P2P_CLIENT interface creation at the brcmfmac driver.

 

My P2P test peer is a Nexus 5 phone and I'am able to see the peer device using wpa_cli p2p_peers. But when I try to connect I get following driver error messages at the Kernel Log.
