-====== Virtual AP ======
-Even on one single physical wireless chip, it is possible to broadcast multiple wireless SSID's.
-In that case we are talking about //'__V__irtual __A__ccess-__P__oints'// or //'VAP's'//.
-A VAP is basically a logical //'wifi-interface'// which points to an existing //'wifi-device'// (physical interface).
-Therefore it can be treated as any other interface as well. It can apply own encryption-settings, filter- and firewall-rules, can be put into a bridge and so on.
-These instructions show how to add a new virtual wireless interface to the routers configuration.
