2 SSIDs on 1 interface

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,


In addition of my previous question, do anyone knows if there is an USB wifi dongle which can do that?

The two I use don't have a "valid interface combinations" section but "interface combinations are not supported".

I see on this page that some chipsets are capable of mesh (like old Atheros or Ralink chipset) :

<a href="https&#58;&#47;&#47;wireless.wiki.kernel.org&#47;en&#47;users&#47;drivers" target="_blank" class="newlyinsertedlink">https&#58;&#47;&#47;wireless.wiki.kernel.org&#47;en&#47;users&#47;drivers</a>

Do I need this kind of device to broadcast 2 SSIDs from a single dongle?

I'm a little bit confused about it and my boss is going to make me crazy if I can't find a solution.


Regards,

Alexandre EPERT
