Of course it's interpreting the IE=2E Random vendor IE works fine=2E Let m=
e explain why I'm even bothering with sending this mikrotik IE in associati=
on requests=2E The Mikrotik IE has a flag that tells the AP if the station =
wants WDS=2E Setting that flag and sending the mikrotik IE is required for =
transparent bridging with a mikrotik AP=2E

Sending the Mikrotik IE with the WDS bit set to 0 works fine=2E Now I'm su=
re this is a problem on Mikrotiks side, however in ubnts airos this works a=
s expected, and since their airos is probably based on openwrt there has to=
 be a way to make this work=2E

I will send you the captures, however there doesn't seem to be anything mu=
ch interesting in them=2E
