Hello,

I am trying to configure my wireless adapter (Ubiquiti SR71-E | ath9k)
so that it broadcasts an SSID on 2,4 and 5,8 Ghz.

Here is my configuration:
## /etc/hostapd/wlanconfig
interface=wlan1
hw_mode=g
driver=nl80211
ssid=SSID2
channel=6
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2
country_code=DE
ieee80211d=1
ieee80211n=1
ht_capab=[HT40+][SHORT-GI-40][TX-STBC][RX-STBC1][DSSS_CCK-40][MAX-AMSDU-3839]
wmm_enabled=1
##

## /etc/hostapd/wlanconfig5
interface=wlan1
hw_mode=a
driver=nl80211
ssid=SSID5
channel=44
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0
logger_syslog=-1
logger_syslog_level=2

country_code=DE
ieee80211d=1
ieee80211n=1
ht_capab=[HT40+][SHORT-GI-40][TX-STBC][RX-STBC1][DSSS_CCK-40][MAX-AMSDU-3839]
wmm_enabled=1
##

Starting hostapd with the following command:
# hostapd -dd -t -K /etc/hostapd/wlanconfig /etc/hostapd/wlanconfig5

Only broadcasts the 5.8 Ghz wifi.
Please correct my configuration as I was unable to find a config for
dual band setups.

Greetings,
Thomas
