Do you have reason to believe that the WLAN hardware and driver used on
that device supports multiple virtual AP interfaces? The command used to
add the second interface is failing:

In addition, wlan0.1 looks like a bit strange name for a virtual AP
interface since the ".1" postfix looks much more like a VLAN interface..
In any case, something in the kernel rejected the attempt to create this
interface.
