Hi,

I wrote the adaptor of BCM driver with Hostapd, and the hostapd can support
the bcm driver with one bssid.
But I want to set up two BSSIDs with encryption method, the Hostapd can only
support first one with encryption, cliet cannot associate the other one.
I try to use Madwifi driver with Atheros chipset, I configure two BSSIDs,
and startup the hostapd, the first BSSID with WPA encryption method, the
second BSSID with WPA2 encryption, the client can associate the first BSSID
successfully, but the client cannot associate the second BSSID.
I don't know why, dose hostapd support this or not?
