We've been trying to get this working, but no luck so far.

Are you trying to use AP_VLAN?


I notice you have 'ft_bridge' config in your examples, but I cannot find
any reference to that in my hostapd repo.  Is this one of the private
features that is not upstream yet?  Is it required?

ft_bridge is not upstream. It forces hostapd to use a different interface for inter-AP communication. This is useful for example if the bss interface (on ap) is not in a bridge - e.g. when used with AP_VLAN.

Instead you might need to set the bridge configuration option, so hostapd will listen on it.

Hi,

I'm running this for about half a year with about 80 APs, full dynamic
VLANs, 1X and PSK and about 2k registered and 400 active devices.

hostapd can exchange messages with other hostapd-based devices to
manage FT AP-AP operations.
Oooh, nice.  Anyone have some example configs that have this enabled?

I've just published [1] lurking around for some time unpublished. Hope
it helps. Although that also includes some settings not yet send
upstream, it should also cover everything needed for operation of
current upstream hostapd.

Does hostapd have the ability to do 802.11r between 2+ APs?

Yes.

I know at least some implementations of 802.11r require a controller
box, so I'm curious if hostapd somehow gets around that?





I'd like to give it a try...

Thanks,
Ben
