Creating multiple WLAN interfaces on top of one physical WLAN device (NIC).
The name of the WLAN interface corresponds to the name of the attribute. A NIC is referenced by the persistent device name of the WLAN interface that udev assigns to a NIC by default. If a NIC supports multiple WLAN interfaces, then the one NIC can be used as device for multiple WLAN interfaces. If a NIC is used for creating WLAN interfaces, then the default WLAN interface with a persistent device name form udev is not created. A WLAN interface with the persistent name assigned from udev would have to be created explicitly.
