I think this is what I neglected - if the APs won't hear each other, all their own sensing and NAV won't help since it'll never be updated. CWmin/max are short enough to not actually matter in this case since they're not long enough to avoid colliding entirely even if one picks the lowest and the other the largest possible value. johannes
