Multiple Virtual Interfaces: when the station one fails the ap follows

[Please excuse me the openwrt syntax, I wrote this first on the openwrt forum]

When using multiple virtual interfaces like:


config wifi-device  radio0
        option type     mac80211
        option channel  6
...

config wifi-iface
        option device   radio0
        option network  wan
        option mode     sta
        option ssid     AP1
...
config wifi-iface
        option device   radio0
        option network  wlan
        option mode     AP2


If wan gets deassociated from AP1, it gets impossible to associate to AP2 network. 

Looking with airodump-ng I see a few beacons sent on the right channel and that it's sending probes on the wrong channels. It seems that this channel hopping looking for AP1 is what breaks AP2.

It seems that devices in managed mode disregard the channel configuration. Is there any way to force it?

This has been tested on a TP-LINK MR3420 (AR9287)

Thanks!
