So what does the abbreviation BSS stand for? thanks Basic Service Set Strictly speaking, in the IEEE Std 802.11 language, it is the set of STAs (including the one in the AP) that have successfully synchronized. In hostapd configuration, it refers to the context in which the access point is operating a network and that is structured to be a separate instance of "upper layer" parameters from the channel/radio configuration since there might be multiple BSSs sharing the same radio. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
