Not sure about the “global” can you bring hostapd after this is shown?
systemctl restart hostapd2
What does log says (/var/log/hostapd2_error.log,and without error)?
But basicly channels look strange…
German ubuntuusers wiki still refers to crda which was not there in u22,and i guess same in u24
After boot:
systemctl status hostapd2

Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/hostapd2.service; disabled; preset: enabled)

After:
systemctl restart hostapd2
No errors.
systemctl status hostapd2

Does 5ghz work after restart the service?
I see it is disabled…so try
systemctl enable hostapd2
Then it should start at boot
That I didn’t think of it! It works! I have one more request (perhaps for a long time last). I have lan0 to lan3 ports in bridge. DHCP works on Bridge. I can’t connect wlan0 and wlan1 to Bridge. I need all ports lan and wlan on one DHCP range. My current WLAN0 (and below I WLAN1):
[Match]
Name=wlan0
[Network]
ConfigureWithoutCarrier=true
DHCP=yes
DNS=dhcp
After reboot, the clinet does not join WiFi. Or connect, but does not have access to the Internet. Usually this is solved by systemctl restart systemd-networkd. If WLAN has its adrsional range and DHCP, then the connection is fine. But I don’t need this setting.
If you need all wlan+lan in same ip subnet you have to bridge them and have dhcp/ip config on the bridge…but sometimes wlan in bridge causes some issues,so i avoid this…on r3/r4 there is wed (offloading flow for traffic from wifi to ethernet),but have not done much with it. On r2 i did this with simple rooting…but this requires different subnets like currently configured in my images.
When bridging you have to remove the wifi network configs with fixed ips/dhcp. Maybe you have to define bridge via hostapd config,not via systemd…but why do you care about wifi subnet? It is better to handle in firewall when having dedicated interface not be bridges…but thats my opinion 
Indeed, totally leave wlan0/1 out of systemd-networkd and set bridge in hostapd.conf
Yes it’s right! I “moved” the wlan to hostapd and they work fine. Could you sell me how to set a static MAC address for the WAN port? Currently, every time you connect to a router, the parent router receives a random MAC address from the Banana Pi. I tried in /etc/systemd/network/15-wan.network use
[Link]
# Override MAC address (spoof MAC address)
MACAddress=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff
but I won’t connect to the internet.
EDIT: I already solved it. I have to set in /etc/systemd/network/10-wan.link:
[Link]
Name=wan
MACAddressPolicy=none
MACAddress=08:22:33:44:55:77
I apologize for the confusion.
