What triggered my initial mail was the concern that I did not see how one monitor interface could be used to control multiple AP interfaces. Obviously there must be a link that allows the MLME to associate frames that it receives from the monitor IF to a specific AP interface. I wanted to make sure that the API provides such an association. If this is already the case, my point is mute and I will go back to lurking. -- Regards Joerg __________________________________ Alles was der Gesundheit und Entspannung dient.
