Centos 6.8 hostap, multiple ssids

Hi, I am trying to setup two ssids on my Alfa AWUS051NH V2 usb adapter.
The problem is that I want to make the root device (wlan0) bridged to my network, and the virtual device wlan0_0 to have its own subnet so I can have guest wifi AP with proper iptables filtering.
Tried defining it with hotplug in the hopes that when hostapd is started, it will be picked up and assigned the ip and subnet, but no cigar.
What is the proper way to do that in Centos?
The tutorials available seem to be written for Debian flavours.

Again I want wlan0 bridged to br0 (which has a bunch of gigabit network cards and is used as software switch for my network) and wlan0_0 either bridged to another bridge with different ip, or better yet just have its own static ip config.
