If you wanted to keep it real low-tech you could even add another NIC
to the Fedora box, a small hub or switch and plug the WAPs into that.
Then use a different IP address range for that.

As far as dhcpd goes, you add a second subnet declaration just like the
existing one, except use the appropriate IP addresses you have
configured for the new subnet. No other dhcpd magic configuration is
required. This applies whether you use vlans or a physical network - as
far as dhcpd is concerned the two are the same.
