gerasiov:

I'm using current master branch.

In files/lib/wifi/mac80211.sh there is a function mac80211_generate_mac() that tries to generate mac (BSSID) for interfaces. But the is a problem in design here.

I have two phy devices (2,4 and 5GHz):

root@router:/tmp# cat /sys/class/ieee80211/phy*/addresses
xx:xx:xx:xx:2f:2e
xx:xx:xx:xx:2f:2f
root@router:/tmp# cat /sys/class/ieee80211/phy*/address_mask
00:00:00:00:00:07
00:00:00:00:00:07

I also have 4 interfaces in /etc/config/wireless: 2 for radio0 and 2 for radio1. On every channel one is my private AP, and one is for guests.

Since mac80211.sh knows only about phy itself for phy0 is generates ...:2f:2e for main AP and ...:2f:2f for guest one. On phy1 I see :2f:2f for main and 2f:2e for guest.

Since mac addresses goes to bssid (or hostapd creates mac based on bssid in config) I have problem: different AP have the same BSSID.

In my particular case I was able to run the setup after I manually calculate and set macaddresses in /etc/config/wireless
