Disable STA-OPMODE-SMPS-MODE-CHANGED?

Hi,

Since few weeks I got this in syslog:

As you can see, it's happens two times per second. I read this is something relating to wireless power saving mode. Could I disable it on the openWRT-router side or it must be at the client side ?

Thanks !

Sorry, it looks like my post is the same as:

But this focus on the client side, I'm pretty sure we could disable it on the router side, am I right ?

I'm having this issue with mt7615e and an intel laptop.

Looking at the hostapd source code, it seems that it cannot be disabled anymore:
https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/hostapd?id=466e48dcd75f67889bc7ffbbda01adbc86ac8eaf

It looks to me the driver is not handling this feature properly.

Any ideas how to change it actually? Run into the same issue...

Did you try this?
