I don't think this breaks anything but I don't have a mac80211 based driver that allows multiple BSSes and I don't have all the radius stuff set up for VLANs. That said, I tested the actual nl80211 interface by hand and it's working fine. johannes --=-noNESwFe1lXcING8NBjM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iD8DBQBG3+pw/ETPhpq3jKURAv2yAJ9Ib+z2uL+6U5gxfrdFw7xRdhr7vwCgj375 YVii0ZKsbullNvyyFlUThs4= =IM3I -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-noNESwFe1lXcING8NBjM--
