Sorry for the long delay. I've merged your mac80211.sh with many
modifications done by me. Some of the things that I've changed are:
- interfaces are indexed by mac address instead of phy number
This is because the phy number increases with every module reload and
thus can't be considered stable
- macchanger calls have been replaced with ifconfig $ifname hw ether
and some shell code to change the first byte of the mac address
based on madwifi's mac address handling
- reliable takedown of existing vifs even when the config changes
- automatically generated wlan<$nr> interface names
It works properly for me with ath9k, I tested it on the Linksys WRT160NL
