networking.wlanInterfaces

Creating multiple WLAN interfaces on top of one physical WLAN device (NIC).

The name of the WLAN interface corresponds to the name of the attribute. A NIC is referenced by the persistent device name of the WLAN interface that udev assigns to a NIC by default. If a NIC supports multiple WLAN interfaces, then the one NIC can be used as device for multiple WLAN interfaces. If a NIC is used for creating WLAN interfaces, then the default WLAN interface with a persistent device name form udev is not created. A WLAN interface with the persistent name assigned from udev would have to be created explicitly.

Example

{
  wlan-station0 = {
      device = "wlp6s0";
  };
  wlan-adhoc0 = {
      type = "ibss";
      device = "wlp6s0";
      mac = "02:00:00:00:00:01";
  };
  wlan-p2p0 = {
      device = "wlp6s0";
      mac = "02:00:00:00:00:02";
  };
  wlan-ap0 = {
      device = "wlp6s0";
      mac = "02:00:00:00:00:03";
  };
}
