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.
