Hi,
I have tplink-wn551G wireless adapter which is ath based, I am successfully able to configure two VAPs with that with one being WPA protected and another for Guest which is open.
But I can use any of VAP in my station (laptop) only when both are configured in that, and not otherwise. What I mean is If I want guest to use open VAP, then I have to configure protected one also in his laptop, only then he will be able to use either of VAPs. Not sure If I am missing some thing. Here are snippets from my config.
Do I have to change BSSID, if so, how? Am not able to do with either of wlanbssid or wlanaddr or bssid in either create_args or ifconfig line of rc.conf. I have also tried without any BSSID options for both the interfaces, which also fails to work.
Initially I have kept them in hidden mode, will un-hide open one when I am sure it works as per my requirement.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurang.
