Hi all,
this is probably the wrong list to ask, but anyway
Is it possible to run a wireless interface in both managed and adhoc mode at
the same time?
I.e. be connected to a access-point and at same time to one or more hosts in
adhoc mode.
(is it technical possible at all?? Does linux support it?)
Regards
.....Volker

I think its possible to add virtual interfaces and have them
configured to different modes using iw [1], but I'm not sure.
Someone on linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org can probably tell
you more.

It depends on wireless driver. IIRC madwifi (atheros chipset) can do that, but
I'm not so sure about others. Ask your wifi driver developers and users.
