I'm doing a pseudo wds setup or client/AP setup, whatever you'd call that - essentially, a range extender. I have some other hardware that I tinker with multiple APs using hostapd, as well as MP+AP for fun. All the systems are wired together, so it's not a big deal for me if I break things, hence all the tinkering. > > As far as snapshots, I am using a lightly modded compat-wireless+compat from git that works with wireless-testing. I update every 2-3 days.
