It seems the max vap I can do is 3.

Have been testing a setup with 2 vap running WPA2 and 1 running in OPEN mode.

Adding 1 more vap in WPA2 makes things unuseable, and results in a
duplicated wlanX bssid.

There are usually 1 or 2 missing ssid's as received on a 80211n radio
with 3 vap in WPA2 mode

ssid's are reliable when running 2 WPA2 vap + 1 vap in OPEN mode.

These configs are maybe not the best, I'll try any alternatives.

In rc.conf:

ifconfig_wlan0="channel 6 ssid Guest"
ifconfig_wlan1="channel 6 ssid ap1"
ifconfig_wlan2="channel 6 ssid ap2"

wlans_ath0="wlan0 wlan1 wlan2"

create_args_wlan0="wlanmode hostap bssid"
create_args_wlan1="wlanmode hostap bssid"
create_args_wlan2="wlanmode hostap bssid"

hostapd1_enable="YES"
hostapd2_enable="YES"


hostapd1.conf:

interface=wlan1
driver=bsd
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=0
logger_stdout=-1
logger_stdout_level=0
dump_file=/tmp/hostapd1.dump
ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd1
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
ssid=ap1
ieee8021x=0
wpa=2
wpa_passphrase=supersecret
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=CCMP

hostapd2.conf is similar
