That's exactly what I am referring to...I know Lucent is pretty tight in giving out info on the Hermes firmware API...adhoc mode is not good...it is just a ptp connection... I was just wandering whether any geezer has gone into the pain of squeezing any info to make DCF and PCF a reality...but I guess the kernel on the lucent wavelan bridge must have something more than just the hermes firmware of the RF card in place to do that .. If anyone has got any info on it it would be cool to see what's in it.. :) Cheers guys Theo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
