No, its more like making AP mode of operation ubiquitous. Letting you
simultaneously start AP mode while keeping your other existing
connection alive and sometimes even on different channels. See ath9k
virtual wiphy implementation [1] as a simple example using legacy
modes of operation (no peer-to-peer stuff yet included). Obviously
there is a lot more to this though but since the specification is not
yet released more details cannot be provided yet.
