notify_response
When enabled, hostapd will send a ubus notification and wait for a response before responding to various requests. This is used by e.g. usteer to make it possible to ignore probe requests.
⚠️ enabling this will cause hostapd to stop responding to probe requests unless a ubus subscriber responds to the ubus notifications.

ubus call hostapd.wl5-fb notify_response '{ "notify_response": 1 }'
reload
Reload BSS configuration.
⚠️ this can cause problems for certain configurations:

Mon May 16 16:09:08 2022 daemon.warn hostapd: Failed to check if DFS is required; ret=-1
Mon May 16 16:09:08 2022 daemon.err hostapd: Wrong coupling between HT and VHT/HE channel setting
example
ubus call hostapd.wl5-fb reload
