Re: Virtual Interfaces with iwlwifi

[kilian risse <krisse@student.ethz.ch>]

I think I figured it out - I tried to create two interfaces of the same 
type station - which is not supported according to the "iw phy0 info".

I use a intel 7260 card with a 3.18.7 Kernel.
The command I used was "iw phy phy0 interface add wlan0 type station".
Is this a limitation in hardware or software?
