Good explanation. ZD1211 allows to specify a second RX address, I wondered, what this is good for. So for ZD1211 we could support two virtual interfaces. However in AP mode one virtual device would have to send the beacons on its own. But there could be also support for one interface in AP and the other in STA mode.
