Hello!
I am trying to get RZ608 WiFi card working on OpenWrt 22.03.5 (also tried 22.05.0-rc2) on a mini PC for testing purposes. Both are able to scan the radios surrounding the device, but not able to create a AP.wifi up I can see in log that hostapd is not found:

Is hostapd replaced by some other application/package in 22.03.x?
Has anyone else experienced such behaviour?

I compiled hostapd for the 22.03.5 and made some advances - at least Luci now shows me that there are possible to use encryptions on AP and log does not complain on missing hostapd but rather its configuration:

Commenting out ieee80211ax=1 to he_mu_edca_ac_vo_timer=255 resolved this as a temporary workaround and I was able to start the AP. Still need to verify if everything works as expected and figure out the ax mode enabling.
Hi taavi, first of all welcome to the community!
What is the actual mt7921e device? Does this device normally have WiFi? If not, then the OpenWrt build for it won't have the underlying WiFi support baked in and you'll need to add it.
The standard basic WiFi support for OpenWrt right now is wpad-basic-mbedtls - this will get you both the wpa supplicant and hostapd your system needs for WiFi. The "basic" version just means that certain things most people don't need aren't included, like enterprise authentication methods.

Hi VA1DER,
Yes the device has Wifi by default - Mediatek RZ608 card which is able to scan other APs after install, however activating AP on it failed since hostapd is missing (as You can see from the logs). While I tried to find wpad or hostapd from repository using opkg list | grep -E "wpad|hostapd" I received 0 results - packages are not available. I also did not see *wpad* packages on the 23.05.0-rc2 list for x86_64 architecture. As I understood the wpad-basic-mbedtls is default from 23.05.0 and I did not see it under 22.03.5 tag configuration.
Best regards,
What is the main device? I'd be very surprised if the repositories have no wpad or hostapd for your device.

The main device is a mini PC, Minisforum HM90 to be more precise, on which I am testing things out.

I replaced the hostapd package with wpad and I got everything to work as it should including the 80211ax.
It also seems that now there are given packages available in the repository!
