If I'm not mistaking it's possible to run multiple instances of hostapd, one for each ap vif (created with iw), and configure them with different beacon intervals. But I guess OpenWrt doesn't do that (?), and in that case it seems reasonable to set beacon interval per wifi-device. The most common case for different beacon intervals in practice seems to be 11s mesh (100 ms for ap and 1000 ms for mesh interface). But perhaps more work is necessary anyway to get this working? /Björn _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
