so its v3.7 tag hash 29594404d7fe73cd80eaa4ee8c43dcc53970c60e.

i see that code line :). thanks

i traced a while and looked at the rt2500pci.c code and there we are
assigning the max_ap_intf variable to 1. the same go with the
rt2800pci.c

here's the part of the ops structure

static const struct rt2x00_ops rt2500pci_ops = {
        .name                   = KBUILD_MODNAME,
        .max_ap_intf            = 1,
        .eeprom_size            = EEPROM_SIZE,
        .rf_size                = RF_SIZE,
        .tx_queues              = NUM_TX_QUEUES,
        .extra_tx_headroom      = 0,
        .rx                     = &rt2500pci_queue_rx,
        .tx                     = &rt2500pci_queue_tx,
        .bcn                    = &rt2500pci_queue_bcn,
        .atim                   = &rt2500pci_queue_atim,
        .lib                    = &rt2500pci_rt2x00_ops,
        .hw                     = &rt2500pci_mac80211_ops,
#ifdef CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_DEBUGFS
        .debugfs                = &rt2500pci_rt2x00debug,
#endif /* CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_DEBUGFS */
};

i really dont know why is that max_ap_intf is 1. may be some wireless
dev's know about this?
