If you use on both cards adhoc mode it should actually work but if you mean= =20 one as client of an Ap and the other as hostap it does not bridge the WL=20 clients through I put three cards in each repeater one as hostap with IP acting as GW for the conected WL clientes the other two as adhoc so I route IP subnets from point to point probably a better solution since I get less broadcast and arp-spoofing-risk= is=20 low since I have small subnets, also the performance is extremly good even= =20 behind several repeaters=20 If you have on the gateway a WL card and adhoc connection to another box yo= u=20 can run hostap and if_bridge with a second card and works fine but as=20 repeater no way actually. I would like to see adhoc p2mp mode so I could have an adhoc base station a= nd=20 could connect several accesspoints (configuring bssid of each of them at th= e=20 base station) with one adhoc and one hostap card running if_bridge =2D-=20 Jo=E3o A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
