Hi all,

I run into a silly problem, when I try to set up an interface as a STA, it seems it doesn't like the configuration from the conf file.
I don't know if I'm wrong but it seems the problem regads the "nosbeacon" option.

config 'wifi-device' 'wifi0'
        option 'type' 'atheros'
        option 'channel' 'auto'
        option 'disabled' '0'
        option 'diversity' '0'

config 'wifi-iface'
        option 'device' 'wifi0'
        option 'encryption' 'psk2'
        option 'key' 'xxxx'
        option 'network' 'lan'
        option 'ssid' 'yyyy'
        option 'mode' 'sta'
        option 'nosbeacon' '1'



root@Mesh2:~# wifi
wlanconfig: ioctl: Input/output error
enable_atheros(wifi0): Failed to set up sta vif

root@Mesh2:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wifi0     no wireless extensions.

br-lan    no wireless extensions.

With wlanconfig I got:

root@Mesh2:~# wlanconfig  ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta
wlanconfig: ioctl: Input/output error

but if I disable the HW beacon timer:

root@Mesh2:~# wlanconfig  ath create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode sta nosbeacon
ath0

root@Mesh2:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wifi0     no wireless extensions.

br-lan    no wireless extensions.

Do you guys have any clue?

It seems it's not taking into consideration the "option 'nosbeacon' '1' " from the conf file


thanks a lot
