Last time I checked, ath5k did not support master mode, but the managed mode is
very good (or better than madwifi-ng) and they fixed a lot of concept problems
dealing with the creation/destruction of virtual interfaces (or so I was told).
BTW, you can set multiple APs (wlan0, wlan1, etc) with madwifi-ng, but
everything is locked by the hardware interface (wifi0)... or by everything, I
mean all your virtual stuff will have to operate under the same radio frequency
(set on the hardware, in wifi0).
