I am trying to figure out how to use virtual interfaces to run my wifi module in both AP mode and station mode simultaneously. From the description on this page (https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/documentation/iw/vif) it would seem this is possible on devices using the mac80211 subsystem, but from what I have read online it only works with madwifi drivers which is outdated and abandoned.
Are there other drivers that tap into this capability of mac80211 or is no one else interested in this? Is the generic nl80211 driver capable of using this functionality and if so, how do I go about using it (note that the "AP" and "Station" sections of the above documentation page are blank)? If not, what would I have to change to enable the use of this dual mode capability? -- Stark Pister Software Developer Cirrent.co (925) 818-1813 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
