Station handling
Stations are added per interface, but a special case exists with VLAN interfaces. When a station is bound to an AP interface, it may be moved into a VLAN identified by a VLAN interface index (NL80211_ATTR_STA_VLAN). The station is still assumed to belong to the AP interface it was added to.
