The wpa_supplicant code for IBSS allows to set the mcast rate. It is
recommended to increase this value from 1 or 6 Mbit/s to something higher
when using a mesh protocol on top which uses the multicast packet loss as
indicator for the link quality.
This setting was unfortunately not applied for mesh mode. But it would be
beneficial when wpa_supplicant would behave similar to IBSS mode and set
this argument during mesh join like authsae already does. At least it is
helpful for companies/projects which are currently switching to 802.11s
(without mesh_fwding and with mesh_ttl set to 1) as replacement for IBSS
because newer drivers seem to support 802.11s but not IBSS anymore.

When sta is configured, hostapd receives 'stop' and 'update' command from
wpa_supplicant. In the update command, hostapd gets sta parameters with
which it configures ap.
Problem is, with the default wireless configuration:
mode:11g freq:2.4GHz channel:1
If sta is connected to 5GHz network, then ap does not work. Ideally with
340-reload_freq_change.patch hostapd should reload the frequency changes
and start ap in 5GHz, but ap becomes invisible in the network.
This issue can be reproduced with following /etc/config/wireless:
config wifi-device radio0
option type mac80211
option channel 1
option hwmode 11g
option path 'virtual/uccp420/uccwlan'
option htmode 'none'
config wifi-iface 'ap'
option device 'radio0'
option encryption 'none'
option mode 'ap'
option network 'ap'
option ssid 'MyTestNet'
option encryption none
config wifi-iface 'sta'
option device radio0
option network sta
option mode sta
option ssid TestNet-5G
option encryption psk2
option key 12345
This change updates current_mode structure based on configured hw_mode
received from wpa_supplicant. Also prepare rates table after frequency
selection.

It wasn't possible to read hostapd wpa_printf messages unless running
hostapd manually. It was because hostapd was printing them using vprintf
and not directly to the syslog.
We were trying to workaround this problem by redirecting STDIN_FILENO
and STDOUT_FILENO but it was working only for the initialization phase.
As soon as hostapd did os_daemonize our solution stopped working.
Please note despite the subject this change doesn't affect debug level
messages only but just everything printed by hostapd with wpa_printf
including MSG_ERROR-s. This makes it even more important as reading
error messages can be quite useful for debugging.

One second is not enough for some devices to ackowledge null data frame
which is sent at the end of ap_max_inactivity interval. In particular,
this causes severe Wi-Fi instability with Apple iPhone which may take

When using FullMAC drivers (e.g. brcmfmac) we don't get mgmt frames so
check for banned client in probe request handler won't ever be used.
Since cfg80211 provides us info about STA associating let's put a check
there.

This change adds the configuration options "bssid_whitelist" and
"bssid_blacklist" used to limit the AP selection of a network to a
specified (finite) set or discard certain APs.
This can be useful for environments where multiple networks operate
using the same SSID and roaming between those is not desired. It is also
useful to ignore a faulty or otherwise unwanted AP.
In many applications it is useful not just to enumerate a group of well
known access points, but to use a address/mask notation to match an
entire set of addresses (ca:ff:ee:00:00:00/ff:ff:ff:00:00:00).
This is especially useful if an OpenWrt device with two radios is used to
retransmit the same network (one in AP mode for other clients, one as STA for
the uplink); the following configuration prevents the device from associating
with itself, given that the own AP to be avoided is using the bssid
'C0:FF:EE:D0:0D:42':
config wifi-iface
option device 'radio2'
option network 'uplink'
option mode 'sta'
option ssid 'MyNetwork'
option encryption 'none'
list bssid_blacklist 'C0:FF:EE:D0:0D:42/00:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF'
