But I was unable to do so. As I tried to enable the second interface I got an error: Device or resource busy. So am I right assuming that this is not possible with the iwlwifi driver? What specific hardware do you have? What kernel version do you have? What specific command were you using to create the second interface? What are the "software interface modes" and "valid interface combinations" sections output from "iw phy0 info"? It's certainly possible and supported with iwlwifi, but it depends on specific hardware, the driver, etc. Dan
