I agree. I have done some testing in this regard. With VLAN-Filtering turned on on a qcom-ac device it does indeed dynamically add the wireless interface, but to the wrong VLAN! Why!? It feels like it's a solved problem but for this unless there are other technical issues as yet unrevealed.+1, this is a must-have feature. You can't reasonably manage APs without it. Currently I have to have a static VAP in bridge and set the VLAN ID there...Please make dynamic vlan assignment possible for wifi-qcom-ac wireless driver
I think the issue though is that the method of setting up an AP client differs for AX devices and AC devices. The former doesn't need VLAN-Filtering and the latter does. Also there is the issue of how VLANs are tagged and how frames are promoted based on DSCP markings. The former it seems the AX devices have a hardware feature that adds and strips VLAN tags and also sets WMM priority based on DSCP. The older AC devices don't and you get a warning if you try use those options.
If the AC and AX devices all just used VLAN-Filtering and allow dynamic Wifi interfaces that'd be swell.
