I hope they will be integrated in FreeBSD. Regarding the lost link, I think that allowing for a fine granularity is a plus, ie having maybe a "generic" lost link and then more detailed lost link or whatever names like the ones you listed. You may also want to have a look at Wireless Tools for Linux http://halibut.aquilamsl.com/ they might have already considered this. thanks again and keep up the good work :-) marco
