Cannot enable 802.11w

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration

After adding option ieee80211w '1' to my SSID config, I receive:

Mon Dec 10 16:18:57 2018 daemon.err hostapd: Configuration file: /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf

Mon Dec 10 16:18:57 2018 daemon.err hostapd: Failed to initialize interface

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Is wpad-full needed?

I think the wpad (no mini) is required.

the new wpad-basic is likely enough.

old wpad-mini is deprecated for tiny devices
