How to run wpa_supplicant with static mesh interface?

[Neelansh Mittal]

Hi all,

Is there any way to run the wpa_supplicant successfully, if the driver
doesn't support STA interface type.

I suppose currently the wpa_supplicant initialization fails, if the
driver doesn't support NL80211_IFTYPE_STA by default.

But it seems the following commit, allows the supplicant to get
initialized, even if driver supports only AP mode.
commit bf144cf649fd6857a8a5332894d4b5c799724681
nl80211: Do not change iftype for static AP interface

Why can't we do the same for other interfaces, say, Mesh mode.It could
be possible that on a specific wiphy dev , only a particular interface
type(Non-STA) is supported ?
