Description

Hello!

I have a problem with my mt7915.
MT7915 card(tested both on dbdc and non-dbdc versions) card is set as an access point (hostapd).

All clients are able to connect and communicate to AP host, and wire-connected hosts, but not each other.
The same hostapd.conf works great with MT7615, but not 7915.
For me, it seems like hostapd is set to ap_isolate=1 (I've tried to explicitly set it to 0 - no effect)

my hostapd.conf:

interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
hw_mode=g
ht_capab=[HT40+][SHORT-GI-20][SHORT-GI-40]
ap_isolate=0
ieee80211n=1
country_code=US
channel=6
macaddr_acl=0
wmm_enabled=1
auth_algs=3
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
wpa_passphrase=password

Ready to provide any additional info.
Thank You for any advice.

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the mt7915 access-point setup with the supplied hostapd.conf and compare its client-to-client behavior with mt7615; done means associated clients can communicate with one another as they do through the working card.
