My Proxmox is behind a TV and access the network over LAN. To enhance my w-lan I would like to use the W-Lan of my Proxmox device as access-point.
Is it possible to configure an access-point that support W-LAN Roaming?
 
Was a lot of searching but now it works. Now I have W-Lan with working W-Lan Roaming:

/etc/hostapd.conf
INI:
interface=wlp4s0
bridge=vmbr0
driver=nl80211
ssid=My Home
hw_mode=g
channel=6
wmm_enabled=1
macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=1
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=********
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
mobility_domain=f777
rsn_preauth=1
nas_identifier=pve.example.com
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
(hostapd ist not easy to configure, a lot of not working and old configs could be found on internet.)

Bash:
sudo iptables -t nat -A  POSTROUTING -o vmbr  -j MASQUERADE
sudo netfilter-persistent save

/etc/dnsmasq.conf
INI:
interface=wlp4s0
dhcp-range=192.168.50.190,192.168.50.199,255.255.255.0,24h

Any Enhancement Ideas are welcome
