4          This chapter should describe virtual interface basics
5          that are relevant to the driver (VLANs, MGMT etc are not.)
6          It should explain the use of the add_iface/remove_iface
7          callbacks as well as the interface configuration callbacks.
8        </p><p>Things related to AP mode should be discussed there.</p><p>
9          Things related to supporting multiple interfaces should be
10          in the appropriate chapter, a BIG FAT note should be here about
11          this though and the recommendation to allow only a single
12          interface in STA mode at first!
