AP - hostap mode =3D=3D no sleep - always listeningSTA backs off on carrier= sensing - this opens STA's up to receiving data from AP's in turn STA's ca= n sleep when no data is being transceived=2C and the AP's (clients)=2C are = always ready for their next turn What would be the easiest=2C best and most= effective is if the code was just changed so that a STA can havemultiple A= P's. to me this makes much more sense and is more like neurons firing =
