Two hostap access points in the same computer

[Dan Searle]

Hi,

The radio cards appear as different interfaces: wlan0 wlan1 etc... so
you can have many in one host at any one time.

Hardware considerations are power consumption (if it's a low power
host), and RF interferrance. If you're using 2.4GHz (802.11b/g) then
be careful to choose channels which don't overlap, otherwise you'll
have both radios fighting for the bandwidth, or interfering with each
other.
