Is It Possible To.....

Is it possible to use a usb connected wifi dongle as the default access point rather that the internal one in the pineapple?

I want to turn the internal wifi antenna into a client and the usb connected wifi dongle into a access point. The reason I want to do this is because I can use a stronger external wifi to broadcast further. I'm looking to have it compatible with the existing modules and stuff as well.

Anyone have any thoughts on accomplishing this?

here is my findings

issue "killall hostapd"

then "cp /var/run/hostapd-phy0.conf /var/run/hostapd-phy1.conf"

edit hostapd-phy1.conf and change wlan0 to wlan1 and the bssid to the mac of wlan1

then you can run it like

ifconfig wlan0 down

rm /tmp/karma.log

hostapd -f /tmp/karma.log -dd hostapd-phy1.conf &

EDIT:

It's not full proof yet things like this in the .conf file need to be fixed "ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd-phy0" I think thats why there are some errors in the log

EDIT2:

I get this error in my ssh session and not the karma log?


wlan1: STA xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IEEE 802.11: handle_action - unknown action category 131 or invalid frame
