In my project, I need a mesh network between a group of android devices. But one complex issue is that : " I need to create at least 2 interfaces based on only one physical device ". When @BenGreear said that not all of android devices supported that function. I have searched for other solution with WiFi Direct, but I have met the same problem. Now, I need some answers to explore my problems: 1. What is the different between supported virtual interface NIC and NIC, which don't support virtual interface?(about channel, firmware or something like that) ? 2. When android device connected to an AP, It also see a list of other APs at the same time. That mean android device can interact concurrently with many APs. Therefore, I think we can find the way that one android device can talk with many android devices at the same time. Is that true ? 3. Can I modify the content of Mac802.11 frame by only modifying the kernel code? Because I am a newbie and Information about wireless kernel is scarce. I hope I can receive your answer! thanks you!
