            Do you mean AP interfaces as required for multiple BSS/SSIDs?

            I'm running a patched ath9k to have hostapd run >8 BSS on
            a single radio.
            It works fine since years.


    Yes, I'd love to see any patches you can share on this as well.

    Thanks,
    Ben

                Hello,

                Has anyone tried making ath9k able to support 16 vAP
                interfaces on a
                single
                radio?  I seem to recall that there were limitations
                regarding beacon
                timers and such, and that is why the current limit is 8?

                Thanks,
                Ben
