Create new virtual wireless interface on hex lite

A very specific request!

To create a new virtual wireless interface on a Hex Lite (a Linux-based router), you'll need to use the ip command and the wlan module. Here are the steps:

Prerequisites:

Make sure you have a compatible Linux distribution installed on your Hex Lite router.
Ensure that the wlan module is loaded. You can check this by running lsmod | grep wlan.

Create a new virtual wireless interface:

Open a terminal on your Hex Lite router and run the following command to create a new virtual wireless interface:
```
ip link add wlan0 type wlan
```
This will create a new virtual wireless interface named wlan0.
Set the MAC address of the new interface:
```
ip link set wlan0 address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
```
Replace XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with the desired MAC address.
Set the IP address of the new interface:
```
ip addr add 192.168.1.100/24 brd 192.168.1.255 dev wlan0
```
Replace 192.168.1.100 with the desired IP address and 192.168.1.255 with the broadcast address.
Bring the new interface up:
```
ip link set wlan0 up
```
This will enable the new interface.

Verify the new interface:

Run ip link show to verify that the new interface is listed:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
 link/ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Replace XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with the MAC address you set earlier.

Run ip addr show to verify that the new interface has the correct IP address:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
 link/ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 inet 192.168.1.100/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global wlan0
    valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Replace XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX with the MAC address you set earlier.

That's it! You should now have a new virtual wireless interface on your Hex Lite router.
