v1.0.8-rc1

Changes in v1.0.8-rc1:

Added

• Dual-Band 5 GHz 802.11ac SoftAP / Hotspot Mode Support (ap0): Added high-performance Wi-Fi Hotspot mode operating on a dedicated virtual interface (ap0) alongside pure Client (wlan0) mode without interference or regression.
• Turnkey Hotspot Utility & Service (mt7663-hotspot): Integrated hotspot CLI tool (/usr/sbin/mt7663-hotspot), systemd service (mt7663-hotspot.service), and hostapd configuration template (/etc/hostapd/hostapd-mt7663.conf) with automatic IP gateway setup, DHCP Option 26 (MTU 1408), and NAT Masquerade packet routing.
• NetworkManager AP Isolation (99-mt7663-unmanaged-ap0.conf): Bundled NetworkManager rule designating ap0 as unmanaged so NetworkManager leaves AP operations solely to hostapd while continuing to manage wlan0 client mode smoothly.

Fixed

• Linux >= 6.7 cfg80211 Association Kernel Oops: Updated kalP2PGOStationUpdate in os/linux/gl_p2p_kal.c to pass struct wireless_dev *wdev instead of net_device to cfg80211_new_sta() and cfg80211_del_sta(), resolving kernel crashes upon client station association.
• Amlogic SDIO Buffer Overflow & Firmware Assert (wsys_i #565): Enforced hardware-safe MTU of 1408 (mtu = 1408, max_mtu = 1408) across all dynamic AP/P2P interfaces in gl_p2p_cfg80211.c and gl_p2p.c, preventing Ethernet frame overflow on Amlogic Meson G12A (max_req_size = 1536).
• TX1 Overflow Fast-Path Interrupt Handling: Added immediate acknowledgement and clearing of WASR_TX1_OVER_FLOW in nic/nic.c to prevent interrupt storms and maintain stable hardware communication.
• P2P Station Flag Error (errno=11): Updated mtk_cfg_change_station in os/linux/gl_cfg80211.c to cleanly return success for AP interfaces, eliminating hostapd station flag failure warnings.
