Understood, but I see some corner cases. For example, assume two bands AP hardware, 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Previously: - phy0 is 2.4Ghz - phy1 is 5Ghz - iw phy phy0 interface create wlan0 type managed - iw dev wlan0 scan => will only scan 2.4Ghz With single phy approach: - phy0 is 2.4Ghz + 5Ghz concurrent - # iw phy phy0 interface create wlan0 type managed - # iw dev wlan0 scan => will scan both bands ? - <starting from previous state> - # iw phy phy0 interface create wlan1 type __ap - # hostapd -i wlan1 <config> - # iw dev wlan0 scan => what will happen then ? Same goes for hostapd ACS, I assume specifying freqlist becomes mandatory or we can't predict which band the AP will be on ? -- Maxime
