softAP + station - DHCP server issues [fixed]

2015-05-06T21:18:16+08:00

I had an issue where the ESP8266 is in combined mode (0x03): if I set the softAP to channel 1, and then connected in station mode to an AP that wasn't on channel 1, I would no longer get DHCP issued IPs over the softAP network. The softAP would change channel automatically to match the station channel, because we can't have the radio operating on two channels at once. However, the DHCP server on the softAP network would no longer work (would connect to the softAP fine, but only with manual IP on client).

Sent a bug to espressif and it was fixed pretty quickly. Grab the patch here: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=426

Thanks Espressif
