I don't think the patches apply to your case - all "twin" SSIDs use the same
autentication methods. I guess however that it might be possible to implement
it, since each client uses a dedicated hostapd_ssid struct with a copy of the
WPA data (since the key must be re-derived using the alternative ssid string).
