multiple SSID support (in BCM4318)

[Tomáš Hnyk]

Hello all,
are multiple SSID supported (especially on BCM4318)? I could not find the  
answer through googling.

By tw way, on your page, you say "BCM4318 chipset: AP mode does not work  
because of packet loss in high transmission rates. Hard to debug & fix."  
IS it still true? It seems to me it works fine, but I have been trying it  
only for a while.
Regards,
Tomas

To my knowledge, there have been no fixes specific for the BCM4318 that were 
aimed at fixing the packet loss at high transmission rates; however, there have 
been a lot of fixes for b43. Perhaps one or more of them helped that problem. 
Your tests will likely tell.

As to the multiple SSID question, that will be a function of mac80211 and 
friends. Comment #3 of http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=24268 seems to 
have a prescription for using nl80211 to accomplish that. If that posting 
doesn't answer your question, direct further inquiries to 
linux-wireless at vger.kernel.org.

Hi Tom?s,

this problem was almost not detectable by users and it was finally addressed here http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/b43-dev/2011-December/002249.html

Everything should work fine as you say.

KR,
-Francesco
