Description

When using MT7615e as hostapd ap after a while it stops transmitting beacons.
Iv'e looked it up and found that it may be related to power_saving enabled.

The device is "unmanaged" in NetworkManager.conf.
when running: iw dev wlan0 set power_saving off
i get "error 95 unsupported"

It is mini-pcie card from AsiaRF on IMX8MM SBC running Ubuntu 22.04.
Any help is much appreciated.
