Hi,

I'm trying to setup a multiple wifi virtual interface (vifs) configuration,
one running as an access point and  the other as a station on an
AR7240/AR9285 board using the ath9k driver.

I'm facing the following issue : the two interfaces are up but  the ap
interface does not send any beacon frames (both ath debug mode and wireshark
sniffing confirm this), though it responds to probe from surrounding
stations.

Running hostapd alone does not exhibit this behaviour and further testing
led me to believe that interface starting order does in fact have an impact
on beacon frames generation when both vifs are up.

Consequently, I've modified the mac80211.sh script so that hostapd is
started before the station vif as it solves this beacon issue.

I don't know if this work around makes sense, any comments are welcome!
Anyway here is the patch, i've used for the trunk.

Regards.
Yann
