Multiple SSIDs in Orange Pi Zero (ZeroShell 3.8.2a)

[Max Jožef Zravnić]

Hi everyone,

I try it one more time – my first post was somehow marked as spam, don’t understand why.
So I finally installed ZS 3.8.2a on my OPi Zero and really enjoyed playing around with it today.

The onboard Wifi Interface works without any problems, I can use it in client as well as in AP mode.
BUT as soon as I try to add more than one SSID to it, the second one won’t come up.

Simple Setup to show the problem – I just try to add two SSIDs in AP mode and restart the wifi interface – see what happens:

REGULATORY DOMAIN: AT (AUSTRIA)

[phy1]  Unknown Model
-- If --- Mode -- SSID -------------------------- Hide -- WDS -- Security -
>> WLAN00  AP     wifree_test                       no     no     WPA-PSK
   WLAN01  AP     test                              no     no     WPA-PSK

COMMANDS
  <N> New SSID                         <M> Modify SSID
  <D> Delete SSID                      <I> Show Information
  <C> Reg-Domain/Std/Channel/Tx-Power
  <L> List Stations                    <S> Channel Scanning
  <R> Restarting Devices               <Q> Quit

WARNING: if you continue with this operation the WiFi subsystem will

Are you sure you want to continue (y/n)?y

Starting WiFi subsystem ...

WLAN01: AP-DISABLED
hostapd_free_hapd_data: Interface WLAN01 wasn't started

So the first SSID comes up without any problems, for the second one the driver doesn’t initialize.
As soon as I delete the first SSID, the second one comes up without any problems.

Does anyone have any hints for me?

Thanks and regards,
Max
