There are many dualband APs with 2.4 and 5 GHz radios configured with the same network. This is why the hostapd default behavior manages the WPS operations consistently on the radios. wps_independent=1 can be used in a per-BSS configuration to separate a subset of BSSes into their own independent "WPS group". -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
