If you use on both cards adhoc mode it should actually work but if you mean one as client of an Ap and the other as hostap it does not bridge the WL clients through I put three cards in each repeater one as hostap with IP acting as GW for the conected WL clientes the other two as adhoc so I route IP subnets from point to point probably a better solution since I get less broadcast and arp-spoofing-risk is low since I have small subnets, also the performance is extremly good even behind several repeaters If you have on the gateway a WL card and adhoc connection to another box you can run hostap and if_bridge with a second card and works fine but as repeater no way actually. I would like to see adhoc p2mp mode so I could have an adhoc base station and could connect several accesspoints (configuring bssid of each of them at the base station) with one adhoc and one hostap card running if_bridge -- Joćo A mensagem foi scaneada pelo sistema de e-mail e pode ser considerada segura.
