Adhoc mode is very easy...what I want is to have the fbsd base station act as an access point where _many_ clients can associate....not just one.... so which of the two does the fbsd "wavelan BS" do ...adhoc mode (peer to peer connection ) or infrastructure mode...??? If it works in ad-hoc mode the PCF and DCF functions are not really happening...which is what a BS is all about... Don't you agree?
