Multiple BSSID / Virtual Access Points

Hi,

 I am trying to create Multiple BSSID on a single card. I am able to create
Multiple BSSID's but could not get Internet connectivity to clients for the
Virtual APs (test2). I calculated the MAC address and added it in the bssid
option in hostapd.conf. My doubt is, should we have a separate bridge to
virtual AP's or should a single bridge hold it all.

hostapd.conf:

interface=wlan0
bridge=br0
ssid=test
hw_mode=g
channel=1
beacon_int=100
dtim_period=2
bssid=78:dd:08:d4:6c:82
bss=wlan0_1
ssid=test2

Should i include another control interface for test2 ?

Information about my wifi card and driver used.

    Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network
Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e017
    Kernel driver in use: ath9k
    Kernel modules: ath9k

Awaiting some pointers.
Thanks in advance.
