Description

When no STA is connected or client is disabled iwinfo radio0 scan causes the AP to disconnect. If a STA is connected iwinfo radio0 scan works and AP is stable. Also when using luci and no STA is connected and then using wifi scan the AP disconnects. This counts for 23.05.3.

In OpenWrt 22.03.X this wasnt a problem.
Tested with an Onion Omega2 Pro. Connection to AP with Win10 and with Win11.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with iwinfo radio0 scan on an MT7688 running OpenWrt 23.05.3 while no STA is connected, using the Onion Omega2 Pro setup described. Compare the behavior with OpenWrt 22.03.X; done means scanning does not disconnect the AP.
