As we know, We can create virtual wireless interface using
iw dev
(1) . Also, We can change it's MAC address using ifconfig hw ether
. Then We can Set two different access points (SSIDs) to each of these inetrfaces using Network Manager.
For example:
(Real) wlan0: 00:16:b6:ab:cd:e7 -> AP(1)
(Virtual) wlan1: 00:16:b6:ab:cd:e8 -> AP(2)
But whenever wlan0 is connected to AP(1), And I try to connect to AP(2), First the wlan0 disconnects and then wlan1 connects to it's own AP.
I need to connect both of them simultaneously. Is it possible? How?
Edit: My specific card is a Lisco/Linksys RTL8191SEvB. I run Linux 4.4.38
.
