multiple instances, each for a different interface

[Ireneusz Szcześniak]

Thank you, Jouni.  I did this, and it's working fine!  Specifically in 
Debian, I'm passing those two config files in /etc/default/hostapd:

DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/gonzo.conf /etc/hostapd/ula.conf"

I wonder, however, how a single non-threaded process is able to handle 
two APs.  I guess it must be using some non-blocking operations.


Thanks & best,
Irek
