I have a dumb questions. How does one setup multiple SSID's with
current (ie not madwifi) wireless API?
Anyway I believe AP-enabled devices right now only support creating 1
AP interfface. I believe the exception to this right now is ath9k
through the private virtual interface stuff Jouni created, but to be
honest I have to go and review that to make sure you can create 2 APs.
We're *still* working on virtualizing ath5k. Over the last few days,
we have gotten this working pretty well, including virtual APs, virtual STAs with
WPA & no security. I haven't tested WEP lately.
We are chasing a few remaining buglets and optimizations currently.
I have a page up here to help get started using this:

NOTE: The .31 tree mentioned there has a bunch of other patches in it
that we use for various purposes. There is no clean way to get *just*
our wifi changes at this point.
We plan to submit the patches upstream, but there is a lot of churn in wifi code
so it will be a bit longer before we can get the patches tested on stable
code and then ported to the development branches.
I haven't tried out ath9k yet, but look forward to it once we get
ath5k nailed down.
Thanks,
Ben
