Hi all, I'd like to try and sneak in something to support multiple hostapd instances before 9.0-REL is branched. The problem at the moment is that there is only one hostapd instance inside the rc script(s). I'm not yet sure of the "right" way to do it. I was thinking of two ways: * add a HOSTAP option (like WPA/DHCP) to ifconfig, which spawns hostapd with the relevant flags * modify the rc setup to take a list of named hostapd instances, complete with differing config files, interfaces and flags. What do people think? I'm happy to script it up and get it committed to -HEAD, but I'd rather sort out the 'what' first before I spend time doing rc script hackery. Thanks, adrian
