Subject: Multiple Virtual Interfaces: when the station one fails the ap follows
Date: Sat, 17 Sep 2011 17:55:07 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110917205507.GK8298@compendium.com.ar> (raw)
[Please excuse me the openwrt syntax, I wrote this first on the openwrt forum]
When using multiple virtual interfaces like:
config wifi-device radio0
option type mac80211
option channel 6
...
config wifi-iface
option device radio0
option network wan
option mode sta
option ssid AP1
...
config wifi-iface
option device radio0
option network wlan
option mode AP2
If wan gets deassociated from AP1, it gets impossible to associate to AP2 network.
Looking with airodump-ng I see a few beacons sent on the right channel and that it's sending probes on the wrong channels. It seems that this channel hopping looking for AP1 is what breaks AP2.
It seems that devices in managed mode disregard the channel configuration. Is there any way to force it?
This has been tested on a TP-LINK MR3420 (AR9287)
Thanks!
