Wireless access point daemon, patched with ubus support
7b8517d197
I've run into a case where I can bring a 2.4 GHz AP up without it being in a bridge while I used the 'bridge=' config option. This happens when the HT scan needed for 40 MHz operation failed to start from the get go because another dev on the same phy was already in a scan. At the end the AP is up and running but not added into any bridge. Upon looking at the code, it seems that some hardware fails to issue a scan while in AP and thus we have a fallback that switches the interface from AP to STA before retrying another scan (it will change it back to AP later on when finished). As we cannot have a (non-WDS) STA in a bridge, during that procedure, we also remove/add the AP/STA from/to the bridge as needed. However, in wpa_driver_nl80211_scan() we do not set drv->ap_scan_as_station until the end of the switch-to-sta & retry-scan-start block. This means that when the recursive call to wpa_driver_nl80211_scan() fails (the hardware is busy in my case) we restore the interface to AP with wpa_driver_nl80211_set_mode() but that will not add it back to the bridge. Problem. To fix this lets always set drv->ap_scan_as_station before calling wpa_driver_nl80211_set_mode(). In case wpa_driver_nl80211_set_mode() or wpa_driver_nl80211_scan() fails lets call nl80211_restore_ap_mode() that will set the mode back to AP but also handle the bridge thing as needed.
