"hostapd -g /var/run/hostapd-global -B" would do that. hostapd runs in the background (-B) and listens to the global control interface (-g ..) for local domain socket commands that can be used to instantiate new interfaces for configuring operations through the control interface instead of a configuration file. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
