Subject: ath9k and multiple ssids

Hi all!

I'm trying to get multiple ssids to work with hostapd (2.6.31 kernel
and hostapd v0.6.9, driver=nl80211) thru adding a bss=wlan0_1 and
ssid=someothername to the config, I get an "Invalid BSSID mask" error
- so my question is: should this work? or isn't that feature
implemented in my current wireless driver?

Thanks for your help!

Ali

Please try with hostapd v0.7.0; 0.6.9 is way too old for many nl80211
interface features. If you cannot get this working with 0.7.0, please
send more verbose debug log from hostapd. Which MAC address does your
card have?
