Re: Multiple BSSID problem with hostapd

[Christian Felsing <hostmaster@taunusstein.net>]

After investigating source code following function caused my problem:

static int i802_bss_add(void *priv, const char *ifname, const u8 *bssid)
{
        int ifidx;

        /*
         * The kernel supports that when the low-level driver does,
         * but we currently don't because we need per-BSS data that
         * currently we can't handle easily.
         */
        return -1;

        ifidx = nl80211_create_iface(priv, ifname, NL80211_IFTYPE_AP,
bssid);
        if (ifidx < 0)
                return -1;
        if (hostapd_set_iface_flags(priv, ifname, 1)) {
                nl80211_remove_iface(priv, ifidx);
                return -1;
        }
        return 0;
}

Obviously hostapd does not support multiple SSIDs because that function
returns always an error.

It would be nice to mention that in documentation...
