One of supported code paths already allows this scenario. It is used if driver doesn't report NL80211_ATTR_DEVICE_AP_SME and doesn't support monitor interface. In such situation: 1) We don't quit if subscribing for WLAN_FC_STYPE_PROBE_REQ fails 2) We don't try subscribing for WLAN_FC_STYPE_ACTION 3) We fallback to AP SME mode after failing to create monitor interface 4) We don't quit if subscribing for WLAN_FC_STYPE_PROBE_REQ fails Above scenario is used, e.g., with brcmfmac. As you can see - thanks to events provided by cfg80211 - it's not really required to receive Probe Request or action frames. However, the previous implementation did not allow using hostapd with drivers that: 1) Report NL80211_ATTR_DEVICE_AP_SME 2) Don't support subscribing for PROBE_REQ and/or ACTION frames In case of using such a driver hostapd will cancel setup after failing to subscribe for WLAN_FC_STYPE_ACTION. I noticed it after setting flag WIPHY_FLAG_HAVE_AP_SME in brcmfmac driver for my experiments. This patch allows working with such drivers with just a small warning printed as debug message.
