That is exactly what ft_bridge is designed for, so it will certainly
need extra patches. The most recent version was posted as "[PATCH 00/44]
Improvements for roaming" (2016-02-24) on the hostapd mailing list.
We want to be able to support routed mode as well
as bridged mode with hostapd, and either way, it will not be using eth0
for any data traffic.
I've seen stations that do and that do not perform an DHCP REQUEST after
roaming, so I think that might require extra steps like extra per-sta
routes or getting the station to change its ip. Hostapd will currently
not exchange (push/pull response) an sta ip address information during
802.11r roaming.
I didn't think about that part, so yeah, I guess we will use bridged
mode for now. I still want the management traffic over a different
interface. I'll check out the patches you mentioned.
Thanks,
Ben
