Thanks Ben, since the only NIC I have right now is the IntelŽ CentrinoŽ Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 (2.6.30) with iwlwifi driver, I wonder if you know any other ways that allows me to create multiple networks using hostapd?<div>

Thanks for relying Jouni.<br>

I am only aware of iwlwifi supporting AP mode (master mode). But I have not find any document demonstrating that iwlwifi does not support creating multiple<br>
SSIDs. Would you point out the source of it?<br>

You might have better luck with Atheros NICs. They can definitely support multiple<br>
virtual APs and stations per physical NIC.<br>
<br>
If in doubt, the AR9380 chipset has worked well for us for this purpose.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

You would need to use a driver and WLAN hardware that supports multiple<br>
AP mode interfaces for this to work. I don't think iwlwifi is such a<br>
driver.<br>
