At least the ath_pci / madwifi driver does it (tested). For a start have a look at "VAP creation" in the wlanconfig configuration tool. Successors of ath_pci seem to still feature VAPs? I think the (core) kernel itself does not care; it probably cannot even tell the difference with someone having multiple *real* interfaces. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
