Probably it just cannot be done.  Most wifi chipsets have various limitations.

In my experience, only the Atheros chipsets can do interesting amounts
of virtual interfaces.  Someone once told me that a hacked broadcom firmware
might enable virtual stations on at least some broadcom hardware, but I never tried
it.

Also, make sure you are not using the USB adapters..those still have
lots of limitations even if the chipset is Atheros.

Thanks,
Ben
