You can have only one station and one access point on the same channel.
So instead of configuring the trm_wwan , you can continue the configuration using the existing connection from step 4.

Sorry if i misunderstand, but this is what i tried.

set it up as a wifi client as in step 4. (this replaces the default network that I was connected to) and installed the travelmate stuff

then when configuring travelmate i told it to use wwan instead of trm_wwan. After starting travelmate, the pi was still connected to internet, which is good.

However, now I must add the access point. I did this by modifying /etc/config/wireless.

Again I ran into the problem of wlan0 and/or wlan0-1 cycling through blocking, forwarding, and disabled states

Here is a tutorial for Rasbian Stretch

It seems like Openwrt not allow simulations ap and sta ?

Other approaches that i tried is allowing bluetooth clients to to get internet via Raspberry Pi connected wifi, but i needed to statically set a internet dns on my Android phone, also performance was not great

Other options adding another Wifi dongle or using the OTG usb port

Yeah, I've managed to get it working with raspbian buster lite as well, but my conundrum is that I want the nice web interface since this will be used by people who are not necessarily tech savvy.

Sadly dongle is not an option. I was planning on using the micro usb for an ethernet connection; however, that seems to also have issues with versions past 17, as is described in this post

still, thank you for your response :slight_smile:

are you saying you cant get Ethernet Gadget working at all ?

Alright. First thing I would do is to upgrade to the latest 19.07.3, since travelmate is tested by developer with 19.07 and snapshots, and install travelmate immediately, then configure it with as much default configuration as possible.
Other than that you can post here the runtime info /etc/init.d/travelmate status , enable debug and check logs logread -e "travelmate"

Im runing Snapshot and using OTG USB Ethernet Gadget mode

Is the lan correct here?

that is what it reports ?

I don't think lan interface is in station mode. Anyway, let's not hijack this thread.

This is not correct.
lan has IP 192.168.1.1 and wlan0 172.16.0.125
Were you trying to bridge them or what?

Nope, that how it ended up scanning with travelmate and connecting to station

Not sure how that error got in, but removed it from /etc/config/wireless

Also travelmate does not seem to have a status command. I installed it with opkg install travelmate and then opkg install luci-app-travelmate

It appears that it just tries to connect several times and then quits after 5 tries. I know the failure is not due to wrong password.

Note that again i kept seeing wlan0-1 and wlan0 entering blocking state

not sure how useful this will be, but here is the output of logread -e brcmf, where brcmf is the broadcom driver thing

Well i have not gotten it working with a version past 17 something, although I have not tried very hard on that yet.

All i was doing was installing the packages with opkg install kmod-usb-dwc2 and opkg install kmod-usb-gadget-eth, and then adding dtoverlay=dwc2 to /boot/config.txt

That was enough to work in the earlier version, but with later ones my Windows computer does not recognize the device and I have not gotten it to work for an ubuntu virtual machine either.

Ok, understood, on the Raspberry Pi Zero W in OpenWRT make this extra change

nano /etc/modules.d/54-usb-dwc2

Add g_ether

dwc2
g_ether

would adding modules-load=dwc2,g_ether to /boot/cmdline do basically the same thing? I've tried with that before as well.

I'm sorry, i'm unfamiliar with a lot of lower level stuff.
