I am using Compaq WL110 with PCI card installed on my netbsd router. I =
know that with wiconfig it only does peer to peer mode and cannot do BSS =
mode (Acess Point mode). But with proper routing and perhaps with netbsd =
bridging functions, why do we need it run in BSS mode??
I heard in BSS mode the client can be in sleep mode yet the the Access =
Point can still keep track of its clients. Is it the only difference?
