And, just from reading the documentation, it seems to be supported by MadWifi for Atheros based devices: http://madwifi.org/wiki/ngFeatures and note the "To create APs which share a single MAC address, use the -bssid flag when creating the VAPs:" remark. Even if no current mac80211 driver supports this feature, the API must not prevent this in the future. -- Regards Joerg ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ---- Von: "Cohen, Guy" <guy.cohen@xxxxxxxxx> An: Jiri Benc <jbenc@xxxxxxx>; Joerg Pommnitz <pommnitz@xxxxxxxxx> CC: linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Gesendet: Sonntag, den 1.

This is a required feature for Access Points (multiple BSSID). __________________________________ BE A BETTER MEDIZINMANN: Jetzt Frage stellen und einen von 44 iPods gewinnen! www.yahoo.de/clever - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
