Thx for the tip.
 But when i try to launch hostapd with : /usr/local/bin/hostapd -dd
/etc/hostapd/hostapd-ath0.conf /etc/hostapd/hostapd-ath1.conf, it seems to
understand my request but i receive the following message :


Configuration file: /etc/hostapd/hostapd-ath0.conf

I think that i'm maybe wrong about the way to use two wifi interfaces at the
same time.

My goal is to have a bridge with one ethernet and two madwifi cards inside.
I want to have one SSID shared by the both madwifi interfaces.
How change my config to succced..... thx for any help :)


My /etc/network.interfaces is like that :


auto ath0
iface ath0 inet manual
#pre-up wlanconfig ath0 destroy
pre-up wlanconfig ath0 create wlandev wifi0 wlanmode ap
post-down wlanconfig ath0 destroy
wireless-mode master
wireless-channel 8

auto ath1
iface ath1 inet manual
#pre-up wlanconfig ath1 destroy
pre-up wlanconfig ath1 create wlandev wifi1 wlanmode ap
post-down wlanconfig ath1 destroy
wireless-mode master
wireless-channel 8

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.200
network 192.168.1.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.254
bridge-ports eth0 ath0 ath1
bridge-maxwait 3

and my /etc/hostapd/hostapd-athX.conf (i don't think that the problem is
there for the moment but...i put the most importants things) :


interface=ath0

bridge=br0

# Driver interface type (hostap/wired/madwifi; default: hostap)
driver=madwifi

........

##### IEEE 802.11 related configuration
#######################################

# SSID to be used in IEEE 802.11 management frames
ssid=PROTO

........

##### WPA/IEEE 802.11i configuration
##########################################

wpa=1
wpa_passphrase=password
