Bug Description
SRU Justification:
------------------
Impact:
Wi-Fi access point isn’t visible to outside devices after reboot
Test Case:
Configure Wi-Fi AP using setup wizard:
$ sudo wifi-ap.
Check configured AP settings:
$ sudo wifi-ap.config get
debug: false
disabled: false
wifi.ssid: dell-gateway
Check in third-party stations. SSID is invisible.
Restart AP and check its status:
$ sudo wifi-ap.status restart-ap
Check status of AP. It is showing true.
$ sudo wifi-ap.status
ap.active: true
At this point also, Wi-Fi access point is not visible.
Fix:
Power save is enabled in AP mode. it must be disabled.
Regression potential:
Ran "wifi-ap.status restart-ap" command in every 1 minute and observed whether it is visible to third party devices are not. And it is behaving as expected.
This patch is for tracking only, please don't triage.
