<div>Hi Jouni:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I try to setup two BSSIDs with Madwifi driver, I create two hostapd configure files. One with interface ath0, the other interface ath1,</div>
<div>The encryption method for the first BSSID is WPA, the encryption method for the second BSSID is WPA2.</div>
<div>I use hostapd -B hostapd.conf hostapd1.conf, start up two BSSID by hostapd.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The client can associate the AP successfully, but the connection is very very unstable, the client connet and disconnect and try to connect again, and then disconnect again. The behaviour is strange.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do you know why this happen? Thanks very much.</div>
<div> </div>

would create the interfaces first and then run hostapd for each created<br>interface separately (i.e., not using bss=<ifname>, but multiple<br>hostapd.conf files).<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br></font>
