Hello ZhengbaoZ_96;

Thank you for your response.

I'm using The Cypress CYW89359 (a.k.a. BCM89359) in an Android 8.1 board.

The commands works perfectly but i have some questions :

Can you explain me why using this 2 commands with theses values ?

  • ./wl bi 10000
  • ./wl dtim 10

The Ap "test" is displayed but i can't connect to it (stuck at Obtaining address ip), how can i assign ip address to client ?

bi is the meaning of beacon interval.

DTIM is teh Delivery Traffic Indication Message interval.

please use:

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1

after the commands.

I already did that, and nothing changed.

Should i activate a dhcp server ? if so, how ?
