looks like changing to phy0 works :slight_smile:

verified that not my prepared service file (uses managed mode instead of ap-mode from netdev file) is started

# iw dev wlan1 info
Interface wlan1
        ifindex 12
        wdev 0x2
        addr 00:0c:43:26:60:10
        type AP
        wiphy 0
        multicast TXQ:

Just putting this out there in case other people will encounter the same.

WiFi speeds on the 6.15-rc are overall worse than 6.12-main. Top speed is still the same, but now it comes in in bursts of top speed (~980Mbps for me) followed by frequent slow intervals. Usually around 100Mbps but sometimes as low as 1Mbps. Maybe there is a memory access or a buffering issue that is now in play due to the interfaces being “virtualized”.
