There's mention of it in the > ChangeLog for hostapd but "only for Devicescape and test driver interfaces"? multi-bss support in hostapd is present but nothing is in the kernel and it's unlikely any multi-bss code will go into 7.x because it would require api changes. More likely the vap code will appear in 8.x. Sam
