I'd like to setup batman up on single radio routers. I've installed openwrt on three different chipsets now (RT3050, RT5350, AR9331) and none of these wireless drivers implements support for simultaneous adhoc and ap mode on virtual interfaces.
Yet when I google around I see lots of examples of people using single radio routers with dual adhoc and ap mode virtual interfaces. So which radios support simultaneous adhoc/ap mode?
From AR9331... valid interface combinations:
- #{ managed, WDS, P2P-client } <= 2048, #{ AP, mesh point, P2P-GO }
<= 8, #{ IBSS } <= 1, total <= 2048, #channels <= 1, STA/AP BI must match
- #{ AP } <= 1, total <= 1, #channels <= 1, STA/AP BI must match, radar detect
widths: { 20 MHz (no HT), 20 MHz }
Am I wrong or AR9331 is handled by the ath5k driver?
However in openwrt you will find some patches that are editing these interface combinations in order to allow IBSS + AP for some drivers (e.g. ath5k or ath9k..).
This behaviour is not supported upstream for several reasons, therefore if you look in the kernel source you will never find a combination allowing the aforementioned schema.
