How does hostap want the vlans configured?

[Frank Rizzo]

When I launch hostap, it creates the vlans listed in the config file:

2       vlan2
3       vlan3
4	vlan4

And the bridges to support them.  But all without IP addresses.

I used some other tools (vconfig, ipconfig, etc.) to create the components  
BEFORE launching hostap, and it errors out.

So, my question, what is the CORRECT way to setup the vlans, and bridges  
so that hostap can open them, AND they have the correct IP addresses?
