Re: multiple instances, each for a different interface

Thank you, Jouni. I did this, and it's working fine! Specifically in Debian, I'm passing those two config files in /etc/default/hostapd:

DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/gonzo.conf /etc/hostapd/ula.conf"

I wonder, however, how a single non-threaded process is able to handle two APs. I guess it must be using some non-blocking operations.


Thanks & best,
Irek

As far as I know, one instance of hostapd handles a single interface.

What is the preferred way of solving the problem?  Two instances of
hostapd, each with its own config file?

Unless there is a good reason to do otherwise, I'd use a single hostapd
process with two config files.
