What are you talking about? Have you actually looked at mac80211? This is supported from day 0 of d80211. Jiri
There is probably difference between running multiple hostapd instances and running in multiple BSSID mode over one interface, meaning that hostapad is running multiple instances of MLME. I guess the original post was a bit confusing. I'm not sure if and how current implementation of hostapd can do that, but that's probably question for another mailing list.
