Hm. Now I finally understand the vlan interface type. Neat. How do you
bind stas to one vlan interface? Is it possible to do on the fly after
EAP or similar?

Anyway. Wouldn't it make more sense to not even allow setting a MAC
address different from all AP interfaces, i.e. require that the VLAN
interface have the same MAC as one of the AP interfaces that exist?

And then there probably should be a check that prohibits binding a sta
to a vlan interface that has a different MAC than the AP interface it
is/was on... or something.
