A configuration in /etc/rc.conf for 4 VAPs, 1 OPEN and 3 WPA2 could look like: wlans_ath0="wlan0 wlan1 wlan2 wlan3" ifconfig_wlan0="channel 6 ssid ap1" ifconfig_wlan1="channel 6 ssid ap2" ifconfig_wlan2="channel 6 ssid ap3" ifconfig_wlan3="channel 6 ssid ap4" create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap wlanaddr f8:d1:11:38:3c:e5" create_args_wlan1="wlanmode hostap wlanaddr fa:d1:11:38:3c:e5" create_args_wlan2="wlanmode hostap wlanaddr fc:d1:11:38:3c:e5" create_args_wlan3="wlanmode hostap wlanaddr fe:d1:11:38:3c:e5" hostapd1_enable="YES" hostapd2_enable="YES" hostapd3_enable="YES" VAPs operating in WPA2 encrypted mode will require an instance of hostapd with it's associated configuration file: hostapd1.conf interface=wlan1 driver=bsd logger_syslog=-1 logger_syslog_level=0 logger_stdout=-1 logger_stdout_level=0 dump_file=/tmp/hostapd1.dump ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd1 ctrl_interface_group=wheel ssid=ap2 ieee8021x=0 wpa=2 wpa_passphrase=supersecret wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=CCMP For the other instances of hostapd, substitute the numbering for interface, dump_file and ctrl_interface and ssid for each of hostapd1.conf, hostapd2.conf etc. >How-To-Repeat: How to repeat the problem: When the BSSID and MAC address and duplicated among VAPs the client machine may not display some SSID's and and will be unable to connect to many of the SSID's which are visible. Recently is has been noted this situation appears to exacerbate problems with ieee80211 Lock Order Reversal, although LOR's are still observed even when there are no BSSID/MAC duplicates. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
