Could you please provide more details on how this fails, which netdevs you are using and how they were created, and which WLAN driver are you using? > Is there a workaround? If so, can you please point out where in the documentation? If there is no documentation, but this is a feature we have, I'll be happy to document this from the source code if pointed in the right direction. It is difficult to say much more without knowing more about the details of how exactly the configuration is done. With number of drivers, it should be possible to do this with wpa_supplicant and hostapd, but it would also be possible to use wpa_supplicant to control both the station and AP mode interfaces concurrently. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
