Hello,

I want to use the same wireless interface to connect to wireless network and create an Access Point. I sucessfully did it using hostapd and dnsmasq using my wlan0 interface and a virtual interface that I created with :

iw phy phy0 interface add myAcc type __ap

and then configured through command line and everything went fine (I use a debian on an alix box with atheros)

I have no idea how to do this at boot time, if I add an interface to the /etc/network/interfaces it does not accept wireless commands like scanning, it behaves like a regular ethernet interface.

What am I doing wrong?

Where to put such commands might depend on your distro; suggest you give us more info.

The distribution is a voyage linux 0.10. It's a Debian minimal

Linux voyage 3.16.7-ckt9-voyage #1 i586 GNU/Linx
Version: 0.10.0 (Build Date 20150429)

I posted the info. I read that I should use udev rules. Is that right?
