Re: [PATCH 7/7] brcmfmac: add multiple BSS support.

["Jörg Krause" <jkrause@posteo.de>]

First, I just subscribed to this mailing list and copied the subject
from the archive. I didn't know better.

Second, many thanks for this new feature to the Broadcom developers!

I've tested this series of patches with the linux-next-20141205 kernel
on a custom ARM board with a BCM43362 chip running a Linux system build
with Buildroot. I'm using the wireless tools hostapd/wpa_supplicant 2.3.

I was able to create a virtual interface:
        # iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_ap type __ap

Add IP and set MAC:
        # ip addr add 192.168.2.1/24 broadcast 255.255.255.0 dev
        wlan0_ap
        # ip link set dev wlan0_ap address 12:34:56:78:ab:ce

Start hostapd with the following minimal configuration:
        # cat /etc/hostapd-minimal.conf
        interface=wlan0_ap
        driver=nl80211
        ssid=myAP
        channel=1
        # hostapd -B /etc/hostapd-minimal.conf

Start dnsmasq daemon with minimal configuration:
        # cat /etc/dnsmasq
        interface=wlan0_ap
        dhcp-range=192.168.2.2,192.168.2.254,24h
        # dnsmasq
        

ifconfig shows:
        wlan0_ap  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 12:34:56:78:AB:CE  
                  inet addr:192.168.2.1  Bcast:255.255.255.0
        Mask:255.255.255.0
                  inet6 addr: fe80::1034:56ff:fe78:abce/64 Scope:Link
                  UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
                  RX packets:1 errors:0 dropped:1 overruns:0 frame:0
                  TX packets:60 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
                  collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 
                  RX bytes:60 (60.0 B)  TX bytes:20728 (20.2 KiB)
        
Looks good so far.

Unfortunatly, I do not see any SSID 'myAP', but an SSID
'BRCM_TEST_SSID'. Trying to associate with the SSID using wpa_supplicant
2.3 fails.

Do I missed something within the setup?

Best regards
