Hi! So: * you can run one hostapd - just not via the startup script. You can just pass it multiple config files at the command line. Try it and if you make it work, we'll figur eout how to teach the hostapd rc script about taking a specific config file parameter so we can list config files there. * yes, you'll need >1 ssid on a radio, regardless .:) * yes, the atheros chips have one radio and one baseband, and our framework only supports it being in one channel AP mode at a time (ie, not switching between multple channels/bands.) -adrian On 6 January 2015 at 07:57, Peter Ankerst=C3=A5l <peter@pean.org> wrote: > On 01/06/15 16:53, Adrian Chadd wrote: >> >> Hi! >> >> It should be pretty simple: >> >> wlans_ath0=3D"wlan0 wlan1" >> ifconfig_wlan0=3D"create flags go here HOSTAP" >> ifconfig_wlan1=3D"create flags go here HOSTAP" >> >> Then you populate /etc/hostapd-wlan0.conf and /etc/hostapd-wlan1.conf . >> >> Hm, this isn't well documented at all.
