It is possible but very dirty. Unfortunately the daemon doesn't have
provisions to identify different interfaces at the RPC level.

The ugly trick I use is configure three builds with three different
prefixes (to avoid the databases getting corrupted) and then modify
each's configuration file (prefix/wimax/config.xml) so that <sdkportnum>
are different. 

somehting like:

tar xf wimax-1.5.tar.gz
for v in 0 1 2
do
mkdir build-wmx$v
(cd build-wmx$v && ../wimax/configure --prefix=/opt/wimax/wmx$v/
--program-suffix=-wmx$v && make install)
done

[change the port numbers in /opt/wimax/wmx*/etc/wimax/config.xml]

I then add the /opt/wimax/wmx*/bin paths to my PATH and just have to
start

$ for v in 0 1 2; do wimaxd-wmx$v -i wmx$v -b; done

and in the command line

$ wimaxcu-wmx0 scan ..
etc

As I said, it is dirty as heck, but it does the trick.



Then start once instance of each daemon with -i IFACENAME and call the
