So far I've only tested multi-SSID AP mode which works fine.

There has been one occurance at boot of:

ar5416PerCalibrationN: NF calibration didn't finish; delaying CCA

through numerous boots while there was also another AP nearby so
with that shut down the noise floor may be lower.

My configuration for multi-SSID was arrrived at without the benefit
of much 'official' documentation so if anyone has any info on configuration
for multi-SSID in rc.conf and hostapd.conf files please post it to the list.

The present setup has one virtual AP running in WPA2-PSK mode and
the other running with authmode OPEN.

I think the AR9227 hardware is designed to handle at least 3 virtual AP's

Now setting up for some multicast traffic..

thanks
