AR1021X使用hostapd配置AP热点注意事项

在应用AR1021X模块化集成时，一些应用需要用模块来做soft ap使用，这就牵涉到hostapd配置问题，如果配置不好，是没有SSID热点出来！模块有支持双频的，有只支持单频的，具体要认真阅读模块规格书,所以配置的时候要留意！

一般根据对应的Kernel内核版本提供的驱动包，保障物理连接正常，供电稳定，正常编译驱动后，就能加载成功，并正常使用！

以下案例现象：使用hostapd配置AP热点，ap热点出不来!

log信息如下：

以上信息很明显，是针对只能支持ISM5.8G频段的模块，hostapd.conf配置成了ISM2.4G，只要进行重新配置就可以了！同时提醒，双频是分时双频，也就是工作时候只能支持一种，但是有两种频供选！或者理解成双频供选择，实际选用一种！

针对AR1021X系列WiFi模块(SR6225UE、SR6224UE、SR6221UE、SR6235UE、SR5223UD)，编译加载的问题，可以提供Log信息，配合有效分析！
