Discussion on commit "MLD: Scan the channels of missing links for the ML probe"

[Louis Kotze]

Hi Michael,

The follow-up is on the list now:
https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/hostap/2026-August/045469.html

Patch 1 is a hostapd testing option (no_ml_probe_sta_profiles=1) that makes
an AP MLD leave the requested per-STA profiles out of the multi-link probe
response, so the case can be reproduced without particular hardware.

On the AP I have here the client discovers the missing 6 GHz link and puts
it into the association request, but that AP then answers no Association
Response to any request carrying two links, so it falls back to single
link. If you are able to run this against an AP MLD that does answer, that
is the part I cannot check.

Thanks,
Louis
