WRT32X - Can't do more than 1 SSID on same radio (21.RC and SNAPSHOT)

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hello friends,

Linksys WRT32X (all stock installs)
RADIO1 > 2 SSIDs
18.06 OK
19.07 OK
21.RC NOT
21.SNAPSHOT NOT

daemon.err hostapd: Duplicate BSSID xxx on interface 'wlan0-1' and 'wlan0'.

I read some topics about patch to a .sh file. But it is patched on both 21 versions.

It appears I can't add more than 1 SSID to any radio. They both get disabled. How to resolve this?

Many thanks!

Could you share your /etc/config/wireless (keys redacted etc.)?

How can you quote a message here? I click reply but it does not include the message.

This is from working setup in 19.07, set up stock right after flashing without any modifications.

It was not the same in 21. I flashed it, then I set one AP. It worked. Setting another AP on the same radio disabled both. Error given above. Flashed back 19.07 as I need the router.

Did you wipe your configuration when installing master or 21.02 builds? Since they use DSA and 19.07 doesn't.

As I mentioned, these are stock installs just to test this behaviour. I have no configuration. Flashed from Linksys original firmware partition.

The issue is the same as this: WRT1900ACSv2 Only One WiFi Radio is Staying Up

Error the same (except I have no config file errors).

File referenced there is already patched on the system by default.

I solved it by assigning two different addresses to the SSIDs.

First I've tried to assign a mac address to wlan1 but it didn't work according to this post

Then I simply set two different local mac addresses (set U/L bit local to 1) and it worked.

Were you facing the same issue? I had to downgrade to 19.07 as I could not get it working on newer ones.

Could you elaborate a bit more as what you have done yoel?
