-Virtual wireless networks share the same radio used for the the corresponding main wireless interface. Because of this, for any virtual wireless network you want to work, you must ensure the corresponding, shared main interface is enabled. For exampe, to enable VIF wl0.1, main wireless interface wl0 must be enabled. The opposite, is not true. Turning off a corresponding VIF has no effect on the on/off status of the corresponding main interface.+Virtual wireless networks share the same radio as their corresponding main wireless interface.

 Physical wireless interfaces are listed wl0, wl1, wl2, and so on. An alias (like for physical interfaces) is identified by a period (".") + "reference number" , such as wl0.1, wl0.2 and so forth. For example, in the image above, the virtual network wl0.1 (sharing the 2.4 GHz radio) has SSID name "Guest24". The virtual network wl0.2 (sharing the 5 GHz radio) has SSID name "Guest50". Physical wireless interfaces are listed wl0, wl1, wl2, and so on.
