Second, many thanks for this new feature to the Broadcom developers!
I've tested this series of patches with the linux-next-20141205 kernel
on a custom ARM board with a BCM43362 chip running a Linux system build
with Buildroot. I'm using the wireless tools hostapd/wpa_supplicant 2.3.
I was able to create a virtual interface:
# iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_ap type __ap
Add IP and set MAC:
# ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 broadcast 255.255.255.0 dev
wlan0_ap
# ip link set dev wlan0_ap address 12:34:56:78:ab:ce
Start hostapd with the following minimal configuration:
# cat /etc/hostapd-minimal.conf
interface=wlan0_ap
driver=nl80211
ssid=myAP
channel=1
# hostapd -B /etc/hostapd-minimal.conf
Start dnsmasq daemon with minimal configuration:
# cat /etc/dnsmasq
interface=wlan0_ap
dhcp-range=192.168.2.2,192.168.2.254,24h
# dnsmasq
ifconfig shows:
wlan0_ap Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 12:34:56:78:AB:CE
inet addr:192.168.2.1 Bcast:255.255.255.0
Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::1034:56ff:fe78:abce/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:60 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:60 (60.0 B) TX bytes:20728 (20.2 KiB)
Looks good so far.
Unfortunatly, I do not see any SSID 'myAP', but an SSID
'BRCM_TEST_SSID'. Trying to associate with the SSID using wpa_supplicant
2.3 fails.
That is one suspicious looking SSID. We tested Multiple-BSSID feature
using a single hostapd instance. You can find more info if you search
for term "Multiple BSSID support" in hostapd.conf in the git repo. I
have attached it for your convenience. hostapd will take care of
creating and configuring the additional AP interface(s).
I realized that what you are trying to do here is adding a virtual AP
interface wlan0_ap and wlan0 is still configured as STA. This is not
possible with the current driver code. So actually it should not be
possible to create an AP interface when wlan0 is STA. At least for now.

Do I missed something within the setup?
