multi vap Multi-SSID with ath on FreeBSD 10-current

[Adrian Chadd]

hi,

Do you need 'bssid' on the ifconfig line?

Can you provide the output of ifconfig -a when you create the good and
bad configuration? I'd like to see the bssid's.

It's quite possible that the beacon timers and beacon slot allocation
is wrong, leading to issues.
