Dear Toradex community,
when I enable hostapd via hostapd_cli, I get the following error:
hostapd_cli enable
Selected interface 'uap0'
[ 297.502940] mwifiex_sdio mmc1:0001:1: cannot change wiphy params when connected
FAIL
In this case,
- I have to disable the wifi-network like this:
wpa_cli disable_network 0
Selected interface 'mlan0'
[ 2585.909879] mwifiex_sdio mmc1:0001:1: info: successfully disconnected from 7a:ac:b9:04:eb:39: reason code 3
OK
- Enable the hostapd
hostapd_cli enable
Selected interface 'uap0'
OK
- and re-enable the wifi-network again
wpa_cli enable_network 0
Selected interface 'mlan0'
OK
Is this normal, or is there a better way to do that?
