Hi,

I am using the imx8mp solidrun board and working on the Wi-Fi and BLE.  
And am able to see the wlan0 interface but i just want to use another interface like wlan1 to work with different configurations but am unable to see the wlan1 interface.  
So, please let me know how to enable the wlan1 interface on the board for further implementation.  
please find the below image for your reference.

do you just want to rename the existing interface or add a second interface so you can use both wireless client and host mode?

Yes, Exactly am looking for the same as you said.  
I just want to use the wlan0 is for station mode and wlan1 is for the access point mode.  
So, please assist me to accomplish.
