I have a question for short (since I failed, possibly due to
configuration inabilities of myself): is it possible to have multiple
SSID on the very same WiFi hardware adapter (TP-Link Atheros based
type)? Idea is, to have pseudo device wlan0 assigned to a SSID for the
internal use and another SSID for guests, which is not allowed to access
internal server infrastructure. I tried another pseudo device "wlan1"
and configured it the very same way in /etc/hostapd.conf, but this failed.
Please set me CC/email me, I do not subscribe the list.
Thanks in advance and regards,
oliver

Yes. DD-WRT does that very well.
