| Feb 8, 2024 at 7:06 | comment | added | A.B | @sinabala no idea, didn't hear about "s" before. Reading Wikipedia, I note that b.a.t.m.a.n which is a layer built over any "normal" Wifi appears to have a similar goal (mesh). | |

| Dec 6, 2019 at 6:18 | comment | added | A.B | I didn't mention one thing: some interfaces can support multiple connections at once. Usually they have to use the same freq and give one STA + one AP. But some can support multiple STA (probably ath9k based). That wouldn't be bridging (the bridge would be done on the AP in the end), but it could help. Check for example there: unix.stackexchange.com/questions/328212/… (this is STA+AP in the answer) . This one is about connecting twice: askubuntu.com/questions/488588/… . | |

| Dec 6, 2019 at 1:09 | comment | added | TheFunk | Unfortunately I can't give you positive feedback because my reputation is too low but this is a good explanation of what I thought to be true, but didn't have the technical knowledge of in entirety. I found the mac 80211 hwsim kernel module and intend to try that but if what you're saying is true then I will need hostapd and my interfaces will most likely not support DHCP, which is disheartening. Thanks for the explanation kind stranger! | |
