How to handle multiple SSIDs with the same BSS

Hi guys,
so we have some funny access points, that provide two SSIDs from within
the same BSS. Something like this:
BSS 00:1a:a1:53:50:a0 (on wlan0)
TSF: 9248013477550 usec (107d, 00:53:33)
freq: 2462
beacon interval: 100
capability: ESS Privacy ShortPreamble ShortSlotTime (0x0431)
signal: -72.00 dBm
SSID: Private
Supported rates: 6.0* 9.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0
DS Parameter set: channel 11
RSN: * Version: 1
* Group cipher: TKIP
* Pairwise ciphers: CCMP
* Authentication suites: IEEE 802.1X
* Capabilities: 4-PTKSA-RC 4-GTKSA-RC (0x0028)
BSS 00:1a:a1:53:50:a0 (on wlan0)
TSF: 9248093259783 usec (107d, 00:54:53)
freq: 2462
beacon interval: 100
capability: ESS ShortPreamble ShortSlotTime (0x0421)
signal: -74.00 dBm
SSID: Public
Supported rates: 6.0* 9.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0
DS Parameter set: channel 11
When using the wpa_supplicant D-Bus interface, every BSS can only be
listed once and so we either see "Private" or "Public", but never
actually both of them. How should this be handled.
Also looking into the register_bss callbacks, you only get the BSS
address and not the set of IE.

Marcel
