Description

I have an ALFA AWUS036ACHM with MT7610U chipset, the issue is that when I try to open an AP with hostapd the terminal crash and I cannot execute Network related command. Also I have to restart and then everything works fine. I tried to search online but nothing. Any ideas? Sorry for my English.

cat hostapd.conf
interface=wlan0mon
driver=nl80211
ssid=test
hw_mode=g
channel=8
macaddr_acl=0
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0

sudo dmesg | grep mt

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the crash with the provided hostapd.conf on the MT7610U using driver version 5.19.0-46-generic, then inspect dmesg for the reported MAC error; done means hostapd starts without crashing and network commands remain usable.
