That normal, what’s your issue?
Only posted it because the previous one was a fresh boot too, and the difference was that the first time was SoftAp0 wlan routable configured and the second time SoftAp0 wlan no-carrier configured
Well hostapd is in control of that, we really don’t touch SoftAp0 from the user point of view…
Something probably got delayed or timed out…

Connected with wifi with BeaglePlay-4DCA by wifi on W10, ethernet on W10 ssh still connected to wlan0 BPlay. Unsure why access point BeaglePlay-4DCA not up before, but came up after restart.
SoftAp0 has a timeout? wlan0 as connected client prevents hostapd starting access point? Curious.
after connecting to BeaglePlay-4DCA, i did nothing with it for a few hours. When I returned I saw no connection so I restarted hostapd and watched it as

Although this link is ancient, Can a Linux machine act as both a wireless client and access point simultaneously using a single physical WLAN interface? - Super User , I wonder if what I need is two wlan0 configuraions, wlan0_ap and wlan0_client to get ap , client and and maybe wpagui to work “right”.
That’s what we do…
wlan0_ap = SoftAp0
wlan0_client = wlan0
Right now wpagui is filtering out wlan0 for some reason…
Regards,
Everything is making more sense now. I can easily use SoftAp0 and wlan0 as expected on 2.4GHz. When i tried to use SoftAp0 and wlan0 at 5Ghz, hostapd would exit with

I changed things back as suggested except used channel=36 and it worked.
How to properly set up AP mode | Community | Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
I have no idea why this would work on different hw.
from what I’ve read, channel=0 should also work for 5Ghz, as it scan’s and sets a value?
Regards,
The zero was what I read would scan as well, but TIL List of WLAN channels - Wikipedia and from others that 36, 40, 44, 48 would be prime US indoor channels.
Maybe wireless-regdb would allow “0”?
