• AP will always operate in channel in which the client [corresponding to other VAP] connects. For eg: In case if
client connects in ch6 then AP mode will get created in ch6 irrespective of the channel configured.Similarly
if AP mode is started first in the user configured channel and client mode is started later, then AP switches to
the channel in which client is finally connected. However AP and client can operate in different security
modes.
• If station disconnects then the AP mode would also not be operational [i.e the AP stops beaconing and
disconnects all of the connected stations.
• Background scan(Bg-scan) and powersave features are not supported for the station mode vap in
concurrent mode.
• In NL80211 mode, STA VAP has to be settled first (i.e. should be connected) to use proper country code.
Whatever country of STA VAP's AP (third party AP to which STA is connected), that will be advertised in
Beacons of AP VAPs. If AP VAPs were created first then also whatever country will be of 3rd party connected
AP, that will be updated in our AP VAP's beacon.
• In NL80211 mode, If Multiple AP VAPs only created then all VAP should have same country code. In this case
whichever AP will start first with country code, same will be use for others also.
