Description

Hello, I am trying this with Openwrt 24.10.3.
AP mode works (on non DFS channels and 6Ghz) , normal client works but when switching to WDS client (to AP on 5Ghz/AX/80Mhz) I see same error messages as in https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/issues/422#issuecomment-2107015744 , notably this:

daemon.notice netifd: radio0 (7858): sh: out of range
...
dacmon.notice upa_supplicant[1635]: n180211: Driver does not support authentication/association

I tried this with M.2 PCIE cards in Futro S540 thin client (x86 Gemini Lake) - one mt7922 and one mt7925, both have same issue.
I am using WDS successfully between two Xiaomi AX3000T routers with mediatek Filogic 820 (on Openwrt 24.10.2) which uses this mt76 driver too (?) so I guess this is specific to mt792x?

I also double checked configuration with one xiaomi router currently acting as WDS client and it appears to be the same.

Let me know if you need more info or do some tests. I returned the mt7925 card back to seller (as it was expensive and I don't need wifi7 now) but still keep mt7922 as it was pretty cheap. If things start working with mt7922 I can possibly get mt7925 again.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the WDS-client failure with the mt7922 card on OpenWrt 24.10.3, using the reported netifd and wpa_supplicant messages as checkpoints. Compare the mt792x behavior with the working Xiaomi WDS setup and inspect the mt76 driver path involved; done means a 5 GHz AX/80 MHz WDS client associates without these errors.
