Hi Csaba! Thanks for answering.

Could I put the veth pair creation and a wireless AP selection on rtr-hw.txt file? Something like that...

[/rtr/rtr-hw.txt]

proc wpa-supp.sh /sbin/wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

proc veth-pair.sh /sbin/ip link add veth-a type veth peer name veth-b

proc  veth-setup.sh /sbin/ip link set dev veth-a && /sbin/ip link set dev veth-a up && /sbin/ip link set dev veth-b up

proc  bind-wl.sh /rtr/pcap2pcap.bin wlp2s0 veth-a

proc ifc2.sh /rtr/rawInt.bin veth-b 20012 127.0.0.1 20011 127.0.0.1
int eth2 stat eth [MAC-VETH-B] 127.0.0.1 20011 127.0.0.1 20012

Does this make any sense? Or is this a crazy idea and should be avoided?

hi,
after the key exchange, wireless interfaces does not differ from regular n*g interfaces...
you could give them to freerouter itself via pcapint or a dataplane of your choice, except dpdk...
btw, i suggest you to use a veth pair and pcap2pcap.bin on the wireless<-->vethXa, and give
vethXb to the router/dataplane simply because these interfaces could go down or disappear...
br,
