2. SCAN: In This state the device performs scan and sends the scan results to the supplicant. In the STA alone mode, the
scan request from the supplicant is sufficient for the STA to move to this state. In case AP is running and the STA is started,
then the user has to give the host_scan command for the STA to move to this state.
3. AUTH: This is an intermediate state during connection. Once the STA collects the SCAN results and sends to the
supplicant, if any desired BSS is found, then the STA moves to this state to complete authentication.
4. ASSOC: Once the AUTH is successful, the STA moves to the ASSOCIATION State.
5. RUN: Once the ASSOCIATION is successful, the STA moves to RUN state and the user can co-relate this to Connection
Established. Once the STA enters into the RUN state, it automatically disables the host_scan command, i.e the device no
longer performs the SCAN even if the user hasn't explicitly sent the scan stop command. If the user wishes to continue the
SCAN he must initiate it again.
6. DOWN: If the STA VAP is not up, then the output is DOWN

connects in ch6 then AP mode will get created in ch6 irrespective of the channel configured.Similarly if AP mode is
