Hi Mr. Shafi, 

I am using wlan0 as a station interface but yes, I already tried to use it as AP and wlan1 as station but acording to 
# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr.

hostapd changed the BSSID without succesfull. 

So it does not work either. 

Thanks
