Based on a quick test, I was able to get hostapd running on the interface created with the command above at least when not changing the address on the created interface. A station was able to see the AP and associate. Then I changed the MAC address of the original interface by setting locally administered bit (02:<rest of addr>) and I was able to associate it as a station to an AP that was running on the same channel. The ping from the virtual AP interface was still going through. Just keep in mind that not all combinations will work as far as key setup is concerned. In other words, you may be able to get associated with multiple interfaces, but the data frames may not get through if the driver is not yet ready to the setup you tested. These will be eventually addressed for most cases, but for now, you may also want to experiment with nohwcrypt=1 if you see something that could be caused by this. - Jouni _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
