John and me have been working on this in the past months, I'm now doing a final round of rebasing and testing right now. Take a look at my staging tree here: https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/dangole.git;a=summary What is new here is that hostapd and wpa_supplicant are running permanently and offering a ubus interface to add, remove and modify wifi interfaces. netifd and the scripts previously wrapping around hostapd/wpa_supplicant have been modified to make use of that. You can easily test it by modifying the wireless configuration and calling 'wifi reconf', changes should take effect immediatly without affecting unmodified networks. Currently, there is still one instance of each service for each wiphy, however, once things have been tested a bit more, we can reduce this and use the same service to manage interfaces accross radios -- this should already be supported in hostapd/wpa_supplicant right now, however, we intend to change things one by one to make debugging easier. I'd highly appreciate all reviewing and testing of our changes, I'm planning to merge them into master at the end of next week after posting a comprehensive series on the mailing list tomorrow or monday.
