@anon33261557 , I was puzzled because I did not find anything concerning @ms in the Blog post your link provided …
Thanks for your clarification, anyway!
To me, this suggests collecting working and non-working examples is needed in order to further fence this problem in.
@metalac , @Sammy-Bulldog :
Could you please be so kind as to also disclose your HW involved,
as well as IPFire core / hostapd version?
Thanks!
I just discovered that hostap - hostapd/wpa_supplicant displays hostap_2_9 as latest stable release,
whereas “hostapd -v” displays “hostapd v2.10-devel”.
Having noticed 12585 – Update with core 154 stops hostapd on some hardware.
→ “Downgrading hostapd from 581dfcc-54 to 2.9-52 fixed it”,
I downgraded to hostapd-2.9-52.ipfire also, but to no avail:
Again “brctl show” listed my green eth if as only single member.
And the error message from the title as well.
So I switched back again.
