HI Parth

I haven't tried the AP + adhoc thing, but I have tried the AP+client setup.=
 You can make ath0 as AP and ath1 as client. associate the client ath1 with=
 ath0 AP of another soekris and so on. You can even create 2 clients or 2 A=
Ps on the same radio.=20
Another way would be to use WDS. There is info on the madwifi website for t=
hat.

radio on miniPCI with madwifi driver.  I want to create two VAPs on the wif=
i0 (my 1st and only radio) but both of them should be in different mode. On=
e (say ath0) should be an AP and ath1 should be in ad-hoc mode. I read in t=
he userguide online that these two modes don't go together at all? is it so=
? I tried creating two APs with the same card and they worked fine but whil=
e creating adhoc and AP, they initially get created fine but actually none =
of them works (as in data transfer).  Please help me with the way around fo=
r creating mesh node having one miniPCI. Is there other combination or tric=
k I dont know? mesh + AP is not new with Atheros chipset and madwifi. Has s=
omeone done this before?  Anticipating some help from the group, thanks in =
