Hi,
is it possible to run a mesh point and an access
point on the same physical interface?
I have tried with a WLE900VX QCA9880, kernel 4.10 with no success.
But according to this thread
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2016-September/008374.html
it should be possible.
iw list gives to following:
#valid interface combinations:
# * #{ AP, mesh point } <= 8, #{ managed } <= 1,
# total <= 8, #channels <= 1, STA/AP BI must match ...
So it is not a valid combination?
I have tried t bring up the ap interface with iw / hostapd,
after joining the mesh.
When I start the second interface, rtnetlink responds with
device or resource busy.
thanks,
Hannes
