Problem with wireless network card wlan0 and wlan1 of orange pi pc plus.

[Char11e]

I am using orange pi pc plus after using armbian system, there is an infinite network with WLAN0 and WLAN1, but at present there is no law to use both networks at the same time and connect different SSIDs.

 

Error: Connection activation failed: (7) Secrets were required, but not provided.

At present, when I check the status of the phy controller, it is unlocked.

But I am very curious about the relationship between wdev 0x100000001 in wlan1 and wdev 0x1 in wlan0. Does this mean that wlan1 is simulated from wlan0?

 

pi@orangepipcplus:~$ iw dev
phy#1
        Interface wlan1
                ifindex 4
                wdev 0x100000001
                addr 12:81:64:17:13:3d
                type managed
                txpower 12.00 dBm
phy#0
        Interface wlan0
                ifindex 3
                wdev 0x1
                addr 12:81:64:17:11:3d
                ssid R15-3437
                type managed
                txpower 12.00 dBm

At present, I tested and found that wlan0&wlan1 can only connect to the same SSID at the same time. However, the information in iw points out that the two have different phy numbers.
