Can hostap&madwifi support several bcast keys of one AP?

[=?gb2312?q?=CD=F5=ABh?=]

hi, Jouni
Thank u for ur letters.
Follow ur advice, i deployed hostap-0.6.4 based on the
wireless-testing.git, with AP mode patch.(use ath5k)
hostapd works well.thank u:)

1. But i'm worried about the nl80211 can set vlan for 
different vlans, because the function:
it seems that vlan_id will not be used.
so how does the driver know which vlan the sta should
belong to?

static int i802_set_sta_vlan(void *priv, const u8
*addr,
                             const char *ifname, int
vlan_id)
{
        struct i802_driver_data *drv = priv;
        struct nl_msg *msg;
        int ret = -1;

        msg = nlmsg_alloc();
        if (!msg)
                goto out;

        genlmsg_put(msg, 0, 0,
genl_family_get_id(drv->nl80211), 0,
                    0, NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION, 0);

        NLA_PUT_U32(msg, NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX,
                    if_nametoindex(drv->iface));
        NLA_PUT(msg, NL80211_ATTR_MAC, ETH_ALEN,
addr);
        NLA_PUT_U32(msg, NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX,
                    if_nametoindex(ifname));

        ret = 0;

        if (nl_send_auto_complete(drv->nl_handle, msg)
< 0 ||
            (errno = nl_wait_for_ack(drv->nl_handle) <
0)) {
                ret = -1;
        }

 nla_put_failure:
        nlmsg_free(msg);

 out:
        return ret;
}

2. Besides, if hostap and mac80211 do support vlans 
and encryption with different GTKs for differnet
vlans,
i hope to deploy a wireless system and test this 
function.
But i'm not sure the atheros 5k chipset and its driver
can support this function. So would u mind show me ur
environment(wireless chipset, operation system 
version, hostapd version...) that can realize this 
function as ur former letters?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
yue
