Subject: Wi-Fi Direct multi-role support in ath9k

Dear all,

I am experimenting a bit with Wi-Fi Direct on top of the ath9k driver
and I am wondering if it is possible to operate at the same moment, on
the same IEEE802.11n module, a software AP for an infrastructure Wi-Fi
network (e.g. by using hostapd) and a soft AP for a Wi-Fi Direct link.

As far as I understand, for this, the driver needs to support the
“multi-role” feature. Is it right?

Is this feature already supported by the ath9k driver?


Many thanks in advance for any help.


Best regards
