every few seconds, I get in debug console :
[72055.723846] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: CMD_RESP: cmd 0xb0 error, result=0x1
[72055.731323] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: Failed to set AP configuration

[72061.764123] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: Failed to start AP
I used this :
http://linuxwireless.sipsolutions.net/en/users/Drivers/mwifiex/
to get the firmware...
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/mrvl/pcieusb8997_combo_v4.bin
and add it to /lib/firmware/mrvl
and reboot, it look to load correcty :
[ 8.622071] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: info: FW download over, size 634228 bytes
[ 9.463213] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: WLAN FW is active
[ 9.532655] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: info: MWIFIEX VERSION: mwifiex 1.0 (16.68.1.p195)
[ 9.541211] mwifiex_pcie 0000:01:00.0: driver_version = mwifiex 1.0 (16.68.1.p195)
But AP do not work at all :
BusyBox v1.33.1 (2021-06-13 22:02:19 UTC) built-in shell (ash)

root@ultra:~# iw dev wlan0 get power_save
Power save: on
tried this, because of bug reports found on the Internet :
root@ultra:~# iw dev wlan0 set power_save off
root@ultra:~# iw dev wlan0 get power_save
Power save: off
But no changes and still get same errors !
