I think that mac80211 would need quite a bit more work (in places like TX and RX path) to support devices with "multiple radios" (or pseudo-radios) anyway. Of course, I'm just speculating on how such hardware could/would operate. While we don't have any, I'm not sure it's worth increasing complexity so much to accommodate this. Daniel
