I am running Linux Khadas 4.9.224 #29 Ubuntu release.
I noticed that the AP6398S Wi-Fi module support running AP + STA mode in the same time.
How can I enable this feature?
By the way, How can I use the Wi-Fi direct mode for Ubuntu?
How can I make the p2p0 wlan1 appear as the following image?
Please try this:
Configrure wlan0 as STA mode, wlan1 as AP mode.
$ sudo iw phy phy0 interface add wlan1 type managed

wlan1 works in STA mode.
Thank you for your help.
The STA mode is working with the AP mode in the same time.

The above log is the output for iwconfig .
How can I choose the frequency which is used for wlan0 or wlan1?
for example, I want use 2.4GHz for wlan1 while use 5GHz for wlan0.
