Re: ath9k and 16 VAP interfaces?
Hello, I'm finally getting around to trying this. One thing, the second patch won't compile due to missing ath9k_set_moredata method. I see it is implemented here: http://git.fem.tu-ilmenau.de/?p=fem-wlan.git;a=blob;f=package/kernel/mac80211/patches/310-ath9k-fix-moredata-bit-in-PS-buffered-frame-release.patch;h=b2a74ccbacb29115bede4806006f3265f54cb31c;hb=refs/heads/femwlan_stage2.kernel4.9 I guess I should apply this one...maybe more? Any idea if any of these patches should be submitted upstream? Thanks, Ben On 08/05/2018 11:18 AM, michael-dev wrote: Hi, I'm using [1].

for standard ath9k. (non htc) the following is just enough

I'm running a patched ath9k to have hostapd run >8 BSS on
a single radio.
It works fine since years.
Yes, I'd love to see any patches you can share on this as well.

Hello,
Has anyone tried making ath9k able to support 16 vAP

single
radio? I seem to recall that there were limitations
regarding beacon
timers and such, and that is why the current limit is 8?
Thanks,
