+#define ATH5K_VIF_MAX  2048

This is too much !!! 2048 interfaces with a total of 4 beacon buffers
40 rx buffers and 200 tx buffers ? Has anyone tested this ?

Also think about embedded devices, we don't want to waste memory like this...

As a sanity check, I can say I've seen AP vendors that permit 32 SSIDs each with a unique BSSID/encryption, etc. I've never seen any device that does more than that so 32 is a pretty reasonable max vif (the user can always change it if desired, I'm looking at you openwrt team). Just my 0.02$

+       struct ieee80211_vif *vifs[ATH5K_VIF_MAX];
