Hostapd throwing warnings

Hi,

I have a WLE600VX card in an APU4 running HEAD as of a week ago.

My /etc/config/wireless file is straightforward:

config wifi-device 'radio0'
	option type 'mac80211'
	option channel '36'
	option hwmode '11a'
	option path 'pci0000:00/0000:00:02.5/0000:05:00.0'
	option htmode 'VHT80'
	option disabled '0'

config wifi-iface 'default_radio0'
	option device 'radio0'
	option network 'lan'
	option mode 'ap'
	option hidden '1'
	option ssid ‘xyzzy'
	option encryption 'psk2+aes'
	option key ‘my-passphrase-here’

But I’m seeing the following warnings:

Oct 14 18:29:23 OpenWrt2 hostapd: Configuration file: /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf (phy wlan0) --> new PHY
Oct 14 18:29:23 OpenWrt2 hostapd: Line 16: unknown configuration item 'ieee80211ac'
Oct 14 18:29:23 OpenWrt2 hostapd: Line 17: unknown configuration item 'vht_oper_chwidth'
Oct 14 18:29:23 OpenWrt2 hostapd: Line 18: unknown configuration item 'vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx'
Oct 14 18:29:23 OpenWrt2 hostapd: Line 19: unknown configuration item 'vht_capab'
Oct 14 18:29:23 OpenWrt2 hostapd: 4 errors found in configuration file '/var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf'
Oct 14 18:29:23 OpenWrt2 hostapd: Failed to set up interface with /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf
Oct 14 18:29:23 OpenWrt2 netifd: radio0 (4034): Command failed: Invalid argument


On booting.

If I comment out these lines being generated in /lib/netifd/wireless/mac80211.sh then WiFi works.

Is anyone else seeing this?

I’m using:

CONFIG_PACKAGE_ath10k-firmware-qca988x-ct-full-htt=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_wireless-regdb=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-ath=y
CONFIG_ATH_USER_REGD=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_ATH_DFS=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-ath10k-ct=y
CONFIG_ATH10K-CT_LEDS=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-cfg80211=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-mac80211=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_MAC80211_DEBUGFS=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_MAC80211_MESH=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_hostapd-common=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_hostapd-openssl=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_hostapd-utils=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_11N_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_11AC_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_11W_SUPPORT=y
CONFIG_PACKAGE_iw=y

Am I doing anything wrong?

Oh, also, in /etc/config/network, do I need to explicitly add wlan0 to my bridge for “lan” or does that happen automatically?

Thanks,

-Philip
