Hello, I have a banana pi m2+ running raspbian lite 3.4.112-sun8i
I am running hostapd on it
My wireless chip is AP6212 ,when I start hostapd sometime it runs
sometime it leads to kernel crash
please follow this link to see the kernel messages: https://clbin.com/PXBSB?hl
I have been told to ask my doubt here since it is the problem of the
driver in the kernel
To make hostapd work properly I have to manuallly run this command
modprobe -v bcmdhd op_mode=2
bcmdhd is my wireless driver
after this hostapd is able to broadcast the ssid, if i don't provide
the op_mode=2 while loading the module, hostapd will not broadcast the
ssid.
any help on this ?
Regards
Ravin

You are asking the wrong crowd. bcmdhd is an android driver. In upstream
linux we have brcmfmac. Are you running android or upstream linux. At
least you are on a pretty old kernel so I suspect android.

that is what I have found on my banana pi board running raspbian lite
3.4.112-sun8i.
removing bcmdhd results in removing my wlan0 interface from the
list(iwconfig/ifconfig/ip).

Ok. If it is raspbian that choose to include bcmdhd in their distro I
would suggest to file the bug there [1].

No intent to blow you off. I just do not support that driver nor anyone
else on this list.
