Currently it's close to impossible to tell what part of mac80211 setup
went wrong. Errors logged into system log look like this:
radio0 (6155): command failed: No error information (-524)
radio0 (6155): command failed: Not supported (-95)
radio0 (6155): command failed: I/O error (-5)
radio0 (6155): command failed: Too many open files in system (-23)
With this commit change it's getting clear:
command failed: No error information (-524)
Failed command: iw dev wlan0 del
command failed: Not supported (-95)
Failed command: iw phy phy0 set antenna_gain 0
command failed: I/O error (-5)

(cherry picked from commit ffa80bf5a7)
Refactor mesh initialization into a separate function, do some cleaning
on the way to make the code more readable.
Changes:
* Move iw mesh setup to new mac80211_setup_mesh()
* fallback on 'ssid' parameter in case 'mesh_id' isn't set
* move setting of freq variable to shared code as it is needed for
both, the wpa_supplicant and the iw based setup.

The commit 574e4377fa ("mac80211: properly setup mesh interface") uses
the variable $wpa to decide whether encrypted meshpoint is requested by the
user or not. But the variable $wpa will only be set correctly after the
function wireless_vif_parse_encryption is called.

Before this commit, devices supporting both 2.4GHz and 5GHz would be
configured for 2.4GHz by default - unless they have VHT capabilities.
With this commit, channel 36 is only set when the frequency is supported.
VHT isn't checked unless that is the case.

Unlike when operating in Ad-Hoc mode, we apparently need to pass the

mesh mode.
There also seems to still be something wrong with the logic setting

Gracefully handle cases where the to-be-created wireless interface already
exists on the system which might commonly happen with non-multi-SSID capable
wireless drivers.
This fixes commit 8301e61365 which caused
previously ignored "Too many open files in system (-23)" errors to fail the
wireless setup procedure.
With the updated approach we'll still try recreating the vif after one
second if the first attempt to do so failed with ENFILE but we will now
consider the operation successfull if a second attempt still yields ENFILE
with the requested ifname already existing on the system.
Fixes FS#664, FS#704.

One of the latest mac80211 updates added sanity checks, requiring the
beacon intervals of all VIFs of the same radio to match. This often broke
AP+11s setups, as these modes use different default intervals, at least in
some configurations (observed on ath9k).
Instead of relying on driver or hostapd defaults, change the scripts to
always explicitly set the beacon interval, defaulting to 100. This also
applies the beacon interval to 11s interfaces, which had been forgotten
before. VIF-specific beacon_int setting is removed from hostapd.sh.
Fixes FS#619.

In the drv_mac80211_setup function, mac80211_interface_cleanup
is called to ask the kernel to delete all existing interfaces
for the phy that is being configured via netlink.
Later in the first function, mac80211_prepare_vif is called to
set up the new interfaces as required.
But sometimes, when mac80211_prepare_vif (and so the relevant
`iw phy x interface add y` command) runs, the kernel might still
be cleaning up the old interface with the same ifname. It usually
takes very few time to do that; possibly a few milliseconds of
sleep in the script after detecting this error condition could be
enough, but the busybox sh does not support sub-second sleep
intervals.
When this happens, iw obviously fails to create the new interface;
and the following message is printed in the system log, followed by
subsequent failure messages from hostapd in case this would have been
an AP interface.

This was a long-standing issue existing since at least OpenWrt Backfire,
and today I finally managed to debug and (hopefully) solve it.
It was happening very few times on most devices; but it was happening
a lot more frequently on fast platforms with multiple radios, such as
the powerpc-based dual-ath9k-radio tl-wdr4900-v1.

Previously, wifi detect simply dumped its generated wireless
configuration to STDOUT. A second step was needed to append
the configuration to /etc/config/wireless (or create it, if
it didn't exist).
With this patch, The wifi detection script will now use uci
to update the wireless configuration directly.
This patch also makes the initially created wifi-iface a
named section ('default_radio$X' for mac80211 and
'default_wl$X' for broadcom). With this change, uci will
not print the cfgHASH to STDOUT (which would now corrupt
the wireless configuration). It will also prevent adding
duplicated wifi interface configurations, if the wifi
configuration is run concurrently.

In order to set the multicast rate for mesh point interfaces the "mesh join"
was made explicit and moved to mac80211_setup_vif(), similar to how it is
done for IBSS interfaces.
Previously, the mesh join was made implicit in case authentication (i.e.
$key) was not used when creating the interface in mac80211_prepare_vif(),
while using authentication would create the interface first, then join
later in mac80211_setup_vif() by starting authsae.

Before starting hostapd we create interface for it. The problem is we
try to create STA interface just to let hostapd change it to AP later.
It may fail if device doesn't support STA interfaces or if we already
hit a limit. Consider following phy (it's from BCM43602 and brcmfmac):
$ iw phy phy0 info | tail
valid interface combinations:
* #{ IBSS, managed } <= 1, #{ AP } <= 4, #{ P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1,
total <= 3, #channels <= 1
Trying to setup 2 interfaces: STA + AP results in:

Two errors "netifd: radio0: sh: bad number" have recently surfaced in system
log in trunk when wifi interfaces come up. I tracked the errors to checking
numerical values of some config options without ensuring that the option has
any value.
The errors I see have apparently been introduced by r45051 (ieee80211r in
hostapd) and r45326 (start_disabled in mac80211). My patches fix two
instances of "bad number", but there may be a third one, as the original
report in bug 19345 pre-dates r45326 and already has two "bad number" errors
for radio0.

Part of rev 44173 added setting the SM Power Save capability in the hostapd.conf
file if the driver indicated that it was supported. It appears this was
incorrect, because the field in the actual HT Capabilities field in the AP
configuration is really a state indication. Just copying the state from the
capability resulted in the AP indicating that it had SMPS enabled all the time
if it supported SMPS. This effectively just disables all clients from sending
packets to the AP with more than one spatial stream, for no good reason.
So remove this part of the change.
