Hi all,

I've succeeded in having 8 different bssids on a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND (atheros chipset AR9103)
If I try more than 8, I get this:

Configuration file: h.conf
rfkill: Cannot open RFKILL control device
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr a2:f3:c1:3c:eb:30 and ssid "free_0"
Using interface wlan0-1 with hwaddr a2:f3:c1:3c:eb:31 and ssid "free_1"
Using interface wlan0-2 with hwaddr a2:f3:c1:3c:eb:32 and ssid "free_2"

Using interface wlan0-5 with hwaddr a2:f3:c1:3c:eb:35 and ssid "free_5"
Using interface wlan0-6 with hwaddr a2:f3:c1:3c:eb:36 and ssid "free_6"
Using interface wlan0-7 with hwaddr a2:f3:c1:3c:eb:37 and ssid "free_7"
Could not set interface wlan0-8 flags (UP): Device or resource busy
Failed to add BSS (BSSID=a2:f3:c1:3c:eb:38)
wlan0: Unable to setup interface.

My question is, why 8 and not 9 or 10 or 30?
Is this limitation a hardware or driver one?

thanks,

Y
