hostapd events with multiple wlans

[Michael Baird]

Hi Ravi,

Yes the bridges were created externally. I have run it twice:

  1 - Using the same configuration as before so hostapd creates the 
bridges. Event messages only received for wlan1 & not wlan1_1.

  2 - Removed the 'bridge=br_200' & 'bridge=br_300' so no bridges are 
created. And again event messages are only received for wlan1 and not 
wlan1_1.

I also see when running with the bridges that on killing hostapd only 1 
of the bridges (br_200) is removed and not br_300.


Thanks.
