<div>Hi,</div>

<div>If i have multiple VAPs(Access Points) created, </div>
<div>Each VAP will have separate ESSID etc.... and i want to
maintain each of them as a separate connection. </div>

<div>Do i have to run multiple instance of Hostapd for each of the
VAP? </div>
<div><br>
While reading on the net, i found that we need not have multiple
instance but we can obtain this witha single instance , by
giving the diff configuration files while running hostapd. (<a
