There is some preliminary code for support concurrent operations, but it
should be noted that this is limited to a single channel at this point.
By default, the nl80211 driver wrapper in wpa_supplicant disables the
concurrent mode and use of a separate group interfaces. You can enable
them for experimentation by adding the following line into
wpa_supplicant.conf:

driver_param=use_p2p_group_interface=1
