Hello everyone,
I am trying to simultaneously enable on my system the "traditional" Wifi (access point mode) and the Wifi-direct (P2P mode). I think that it is doable, since from the iw list command I get this output (in particular the "valid interface combinations" line):
root@OpenWrt:/# iw list
Wiphy phy0
max # scan SSIDs: 4
max scan IEs length: 2257 bytes
max # sched scan SSIDs: 0
max # match sets: 0
max # scan plans: 1
max scan plan interval: -1
max scan plan iterations: 0
Retry short limit: 7
Retry long limit: 4

Device supports AP-side u-APSD.

* IBSS
* managed
* AP
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
* mesh point
* P2P-client
* P2P-GO
* outside context of a BSS

total <= 2048, #channels <= 1, STA/AP BI must match, radar detect widths: { 20 MHz (no HT), 20 MHz, 40 MHz }
HT Capability overrides:
* MCS: ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
* maximum A-MSDU length
* supported channel width
* short GI for 40 MHz
* max A-MPDU length exponent
* min MPDU start spacing
The problem is that I can't find in the documentation how to create the /etc/config/wireless configuration file in order to have the two desired wireless interfaces. This is the only page that I found on the argument. I tried to change the option mode line in the /etc/config/wireless file but it didn't work (I am using the wpad package for the network management).
Could you please help me? Unfortunately I am new to the OpenWrt world.
