the keywords you want to search for are: multi VAP, multi SSID & mac80211 iw
A few links that came out of that search:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/iw

I somehow doubt that the Realtek chip supports the mac80211 infrastructure. 
You might want to switch to the mac80211 driver for your chip. Not all chips 
support multi VAPs though.

Note: This mailing list is about batman and not so much about how to setup / 
configure your wifi driver or what features it supports.

I extended our FAQ with your question. Thanks for bringing it up.

Cheers,
Marek
