hey ben, i've set everything up and have all the routing working etc etc. it seems as tho' there is one last issue i'm hoping you can point me in the right direction with. When the device i'm working on boots i've got hostapd starting up with two VAP's (vap0 and vap1). when i connect to on AP everything goes well and i can send and receive traffic, however when i disconnect and reconnect to the other AP it seems as tho' the client connection hangs. Inspecting syslog shows all the dhcp information for the 1st connection, however there is nothing in syslog for the 2nd connection. have you seen this, or have an idea why it may happen by chance? regs R [cross posted to the hostapd mailing list] -- 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
