hostapd: unknown configuration items

hostapd[2748]: Line 30: unknown configuration item 'ocv'
hostapd[2748]: Line 35: unknown configuration item 'pasn_groups'
hostapd[2748]: Line 38: unknown configuration item 'oce'
hostapd[2748]: 4 errors found in configuration file '/etc/hostapd/ax-6.conf'
hostapd[2748]: Failed to set up interface with /etc/hostapd/ax-6.conf

The hostapd package is from the Arch repo, and the 3 options exist inside the example config file in /etc/hostapd.conf. Why are they not recognized?
If I comment out the 3 options in my config, the hostapd starts.

Re: hostapd: unknown configuration items

Welp the build options needed for the 3 options are not enabled:

#CONFIG_OCV=y
#CONFIG_PASN=y
#CONFIG_MBO=y

The parsing of those options are behind the 3 defines above in the source.

Re: hostapd: unknown configuration items

"fils_discovery_max_interval" is also not recognized because CONFIG_FILS is not enabled.
FILS discovery is important for 6GHz only AP (in-band discovery).
I'd open an issue, but Arch GitLab account registration is closed.
