Hello linux newbie!
It is not quite clear from your message, what you would like to do. Are
you running only one wireless device within your embedded target? If so,
it is not possible to run hostapd and wpa_supplicant at the same time,
since the wireless card can only work in either AP or station mode. Both
at the same time is not possible. So what you would need to do is write
scripts, that kill the station mode, create an AP mode or the other way
around depending on what you need at a defined point of time.
If you want to run hostapd and wpa_supplicant at the very same time, for
your embedded target to be an AP and a station at the very same moment,
you will need to run two wireless interfaces on your target.
HTH,
Dennis Borgmann
