I know that if you use the ath9k internal method, you can operate on multiple channels at a sacrifice to throughput. I have not tested if mac80211 supports multiple channels. It's as easy as: AP+MP and AP+STA: Start Hostapd Create interface with iw use second interface. AP+AP Configure hostapd for multiple bss start hostapd Pat Erley -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
