-Some structures, like additional SSIDs (Virtual Wireless LANs) will create sub-interfaces. Thus, it's common to see interfaces with periods in them. For example, wl0.2 would represent the second alias of the first WiFi radio.+Some structures, like additional SSIDs (Virtual Wireless LANs) will create sub-interfaces.
