Everything is in place now for concurrent mode, we can tell the system
that we support it.
We will allow a maximum of 2 virtual interfaces, one of them can be in
AP mode.

Hi,

The rtl8xxxu driver can't establish the connection after applying this series
of the patches. Please help me, thanks!

Locally trying to disconnect after 30 seconds. Can you try non-secure
connection and specify static IP to see if it can work? 

I reviewed the patchset again, no obvious change if you are using a vif with
station mode only. The only one I'm not very sure is a commit related to
security CAM:
    Fixes: b837f78fbffa ("wifi: rtl8xxxu: add hw crypto support for AP mode")

Since each patch can be seen as individual one, could you help to bisect
the cause?

Hi Ping-Ke,

I tried using a non-secure connection and keeping the DHCP enabled and it 
can work.

I tried applying all the patches except this one, it works as usual now. I
think we find the one which caused this issue, thank you very much! :)
