You can run one hostapd with multiple BSSes, in theory, except driver_nl80211.c doesn't have all the code for it yet. Should be fairly simple though to implement, just needs a list of BSSes in that file. > > 3. Do vlan's work on wireless (ath9k)? Well, not in the 802.1q sense. VLANs exist our terminology as a way to separate (by using different group keys and different local netdevs) stations connected to the same BSS. This should work, with radius or with static configuration, but I never tried. johannes --=-AYR2+pIw/8Hb0dxjGY0o Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAABAgAGBQJKgv1mAAoJEODzc/N7+Qmak6EP/0MT3a39B2ZVv/PG7UAHAbao MQfAOqW1GqFfcsTbR9/QQlkic1jd1MbquqiwfIac+iAMAeH0tkytbJPc2T9Joj0B mz1mWxxexNpW1AWH+k3NYg5xJiAyWgH2a1MoiWgYTa10AwbrdWUIFq2suLgZqKn+ cryZIcmdWLMlalSxU0zNnafn8UJSRQnGwHTku8ead/Tg7L0SaQlCJWpALK0XpMSb JEUGpGbd8WzY6ZBIf5wqAM/tLx+xMeUVVXsmcUp/T5Pnr/dRLHc5KDOcn5yoz5h6 jYcS8XqO7NcqxnGGsmsy3IYZp4ph2lGaK5gr8ItpzD+sX9SIv0FacLuefARq2/6Z RGdHN8/Jj66wiMWnzfqfwVc2RE5ss8RBKridJ2ThZOBTJvnRjx4+1sBYbMr+ZRBk 4W8V9tF99rGBSbGXfcnp+VXogpGKzIk37Q4EVddxbO1TFelXZG2trcwbMa05FhVs 4Rm0RBiC8Q/HUFh0gy0ofY5oRiP4OGtaVGso2eA/J6V2BR6XK+ElDQcWzKES/DYP 8RqVnAjFnTzItgZ75uWssuuJUk8/+5H3dgYFREwwXF3uuGQfQCGo85JQuAet02mx 45o9yVMsWIfs6NJwEgWhoGOZ+PQ66LdgU7sivXvUiHGVIU3fpVLs8V+Wef6KoHj5 rf+Aqm6pBzIvfSsjXln+ =U9td -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-AYR2+pIw/8Hb0dxjGY0o--
