James - first, the 2 boards are on the way.
I just tried dpp. It worked the first 2 times, then failed. The last little bit of those logs for each AP and STA is below. I then ran those 2 commands to add extra logging. On the AP, I ran “hostapd_cli_s1g log_level debug” and on the station I ran “wpa_cli_s1g log_level debug”. The dpp failed, so maybe you can glean something from those logs?

Note that the AP doesn’t ACK its response to the PKEX exchange request, and unfortunately the STA then gives up entirely.
I have raised this internally. What would help us prioritise this and investigate it further is:
- if this is the same failure you see every time? i.e. once it’s started failing, does it keep failing this way?
- notably when you say it succeeded twice, how are you resetting the STA state afterwards?
- if you can get a packet capture (i.e. use another HaLow device in monitor mode) to see what’s going on over the air (i.e. is it that the STA never sent it or the AP just missed it)?
- are there any other daemons/background processes running on the AP/STA?
- what is your current /etc/config/wireless on the AP/STA?
- if you have a cabled setup or less noisy environment, does it still occur?
- I think y’all will be able to have complete visibility into all these questions once you receive our boards.
- Per question about resetting sta… I factory reset sta and ap. On wizard, I set sta halow ssid to ‘test’ just to make it different so I could dpp initially. First dpp, pressed ap button, pressed sta button. Dpp worked. On the sta quick settings, changed the halow ssid, did dpp buttons again, it worked. Changed sta halow ssid, did dpp and it failed per the logs I sent
- attached file for some other questions. Was trying to see if fail sta log was what you showed, but after the 1st time of that extra logging info on the sta, it stopped showing all the extra stuff so it wasn’t there when it failed. In trying to collect data for that, dpp worked twice, failed twice, worked 3 times, failed again, using the above method to change halow ssid. In all failed situations, the sta showed this at the end of its trying: “daemon.notice wpa_supplicant_s1g[20910]: wlan0: DPP-TX-STATUS dst=1c:bc:ec:21:64:3f freq=5550 result=no-ACK”. Both sta and ap soon started the 2 min fast led.
