Unable to use bss_transition

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

When I add the option to /etc/config/wireless, it just stays disabled forever.
I'm using a TP-Link Archer AX23 v1

config wifi-device 'radio0'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option path '1e140000.pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:02:00.0'
	option channel '11'
	option band '2g'
	option htmode 'HE40'
	option cell_density '0'

config wifi-device 'radio1'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option path '1e140000.pcie/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:02:00.0+1'
	option channel '161'
	option band '5g'
	option cell_density '0'
	option htmode 'HE80'

	option device 'radio1'
	option network 'lan'
	option mode 'ap'
	option ssid '<ssid>'
	option encryption 'sae'
	option key '<password>'

You need wpad-mbedtls in place if wpad-basic-mbedtls .

Helps to set 5ghz country code to get any transmissions out of it.

Still doesn't work.

Cant helpyou here. Is 80mhz channel permitted or dfs in your secret place?

What you find in `logread' while restarting 5ghz radio?

Channels aren't the problem, its using the bss_transition option that just disables everything.

It's permitted and works without bss_transition, with bss_transition, both 2.4ghz and 5ghz don't work

Anyways I found two warnings

daemon.notice netifd: radio1 (25874): WARNING: Variable 'data' does not exist or is not an array/object

WARNING (wireless_add_process): executable path /usr/sbin/wpad does not match process 1340 path (/usr/sbin/wpad (deleted))

and whatever this means

daemon.err hostapd: rmdir[ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd]: Permission denied

Happens when you upgrade running packages, just reboot to regain control, 2 other messages are harmless.

Rebooting doesn't fix my issue though

I've figured it out. I was using wpad-mbedtls, swapping it with hostapd-wolfssl solved my issue along with making LuCI actually show the various WLAN Roaming options.

Everything works wonderfully with usteer now.
