Huh, no, that's not really true. You can run one hostapd with multiple
BSSes, in theory, except driver_nl80211.c doesn't have all the code for
it yet. Should be fairly simple though to implement, just needs a list
of BSSes in that file.

Well, not in the 802.1q sense. VLANs exist our terminology as a way to
separate (by using different group keys and different local netdevs)
stations connected to the same BSS. This should work, with radius or
with static configuration, but I never tried.
