Thanks for your replies, everyone. They've been very helpful.
I'm going to try an AR9380 NIC with the ath9k driver.

They don't mention ath9k_htc, but I was hoping it also would also allow more than two station mode virtual interfaces. Or perhaps it's a firmware or hardware limitation causing my problem.
We use AR9380 NICs, and similar pcie ath9k nics will probably support similarly large numbers of stations.
At best ath9k-htc would be limited, I do not know *how* limited it would be.

Use normal ath9k pcie nics.
If this is non-commercial, then you can also use our CT ath10k firmware and driver for multi-station work.? It supports
64 vdevs on ath10k.? But, if it is a commercial project, then contact me offlist.
Thanks,
Ben
