Hi
Could you help me to figure out if it is possible to use hostapd in
the following situation:
I would like to connect to the Internet using the wifi interface, and
share the Internet connection
using the same wireless card. Is this possible?
If I set the main wireless interface in the hostapd config file than
the wireless connection to the internet breaks (the Internet
connection is managed by network manager)
If I create a secondary interface using
iw phy phy0 interface add wlan1 type managed
and set this as the interface for hostapd it fails with
Could not read interface wlan1 flags: No such device
from the ifconfig and /proc/net/dev persective the wlan0 and wlan1
looks the same with the
exception of the MAC address..
Thanks Denes
