I have a NanoPI R5C with FriendlyWRT 22.03, based on OpenWRT.
The wifi m2 card is an RTL8822CE.
The odd behaviour is that the card can do a scan of existing wifi networks, ex with "iwinfo wlan0 scan". But when I try to define a simple AP (using mac80211), the radio0 won't go up.
From what I understood, the RTL8822CE should be capable of doing the AP mode. The kernel modules are loaded, as a matter of fact, the scan goes fine).
Anything I can do to better diagnose the problem?
Many thanks.
Not what you want to hear, but get a Qualcomm or MediaTek based card,
RTL in AP mode is usually a no go.

I'm happy to buy a card. Any m2 card you can suggest?
