Running on WiFi SoftAP mode.
Please connect PC WiFi network to SSID 'WiFi_Cam_Demo_AP' and password 'nRF7002DK'.

When I tried the official sample: nrf 70-wifi-ble-image-transfer-demo, and tried to apply the shutdown operation to it, I found that there would be many problems with the AP mode shutdown. One of them was: after the shutdown, it was immediately restarted and displayed as successfully started, but there was no WiFi signal.
i use "net_if *iface","wifi_softap_mode_ready();" these kinds of code included in the official code.

using 2.7.0 SDK and toolchain, i tried wifi shutdown sample and knew the official recommended version is 3.0 above, but my " nrf 70-wifi-ble-image-transfer-demo" should use version 2.7.0. And after your reply, I tried to startup Softap mode while in Softap mode , it seems like buffer is too small for Spftap and other operations ,like DHCP. Regarding the buffer issue, I've already set the buffer to its maximum value in the prj. Since we have other tasks, such as Bluetooth connections, the buffer allocated to the network is limited. I'm wondering if SoftAP can actually be started? What's the correct process? Is there a command to clear the network stack? We need to use Wi-Fi to transfer images before shutting down. I think these image transfers occupy the network stack, for example: CONFIG_NET_MGMT_EVENT_STACK_SIZE CONFIG_NET_BUF_DATA_SIZE CONFIG_HEAP_MEM_POOL_SIZE edited：I solved the problem. I must close the socket push stream before shutdown. Thank u very much!

Can I use the shutdown function in AP or STA mode?
