No, this is incorrect. If one device wants to connect on one

support switching around between two channels, but might also
support more than 2 virtual interfaces, so again they won't be
independent.

BTW: which devices can switch channels?

None today, I'm working on it.

If this is not possible how people setup wireless hotspot using virtual
interfaces and run wpa_supplicant and hostapd on each separately.
Like here:

Of course it's possible. Are you deliberately misunderstanding me?

You cannot use more than one channel today. We are changing that. To do good channel management, rather than hard-coding it in your config, you want to run a single wpa_s controlling all interfaces.
