Yeah, how's hostap mode supposed to work in that case? The hostap
interface doesn't go into and out of power save like stations can. It
has to be ready to receive anything from any STA, at any point in
time.

Hi All,

We are utilizing current ath9k and mac80211 and are trying to discern if
multi-channel support is possible on different Vifs, on the same phy.

Example:

Two Vifs running as masters, controlled via hostapd
One Vif running as a Station, controlled by wpa_supplicant
One Vif running as a mesh vap

We can run all the Vifs fine, but it appears that with shared
hostapd/wpa_supplicant control files, that the master Vifs always have to
follow the channel that the station is connected to.  The mesh vap also
seems to require being on the same channel of the station.

Any info on if this is supported, or what order to process creation,
channel setting, etc to get them to simultaneously allow different channel
support would be helpful, or save us the time of assuming that it can be
done if it in fact can't.

It cannot work as far as I know.

Thanks,
Ben
