[discussion on using mulitilink acrsss wireless cards deleted]

I have done similar, using two IP channels and with mpd as the 
"one2many"

basically, assign real IP addresses to the 4 cards, on 2 separate
10.x.x.x/30  networks then open ksocket mpd nodes for each network, making
2 parallel 'pipes'.

then run mpd using the "netgraph" link type, and set up Multilink.
Multilink will round-robin forthe links, but it will also stop using a
link htat appears to have failed so you have some
redundancey:


here are my configs for this:

firstly the script that sets up the ksockets.
(Assumes all modules needed are loaded)
#!/bin/sh
# $FreeBSD: src/share/examples/netgraph/udp.tunnel,v 1.1 2000/01/28
00:44:30 archie Exp $

# This script sets up a virtual point-to-point WAN link between
# two subnets, using UDP packets as the ``WAN connection.''
# The two subnets might be non-routable addresses behind a
# firewall.
#

# Here define the local and remote inside networks as well
# as the local and remote outside IP addresses and UDP port
# number that will be used for the tunnel.
#
LOC_EXTERIOR_IP1=10.42.3.3
REM_EXTERIOR_IP1=10.42.5.1
UDP_TUNNEL_PORT1=4028

LOC_EXTERIOR_IP2=10.42.1.3
REM_EXTERIOR_IP2=10.42.4.1
UDP_TUNNEL_PORT2=4029

ngctl shutdown tee1:

##end of script


And next the mpd.conf file:
default:
        load vpn

vpn:
        new -i ng1 vpn tunnel1 tunnel2
        set iface disable on-demand
        set iface addrs 108.106.78.53 192.168.150.85 
        set iface idle 0
        set iface route 192.168.150.0/24
        set ipcp yes vjcomp
        set ipcp ranges 108.106.78.53/32  192.168.150.85/32
        set bundle enable multilink
        set bundle enable round-robin
        set link tunnel1
        set link yes acfcomp protocomp
        set link no pap
        set link no chap
        set link keep-alive 2 15
        set link tunnel2
        set link yes acfcomp protocomp
        set link no pap
        set link no chap
        set link keep-alive 2 15
        open


and now the mpd.links file

tunnel1:
        set link type ng
        set ng node tee1:
        set ng hook right

tunnel2:
        set link type ng
        set ng node tee2:
        set ng hook right

##############


the result of this is two tunnels (which can actually be routed over the
internet and encryted with IPSEC if required) implemented completely
within the kernel, (mpd uses the netgraph ppp node)
that handles packet re-ordering and link failure.

I actually use this to connect 2 sites via different ISPs
so that if one link has a failure, my VPNs are still active.
It is extensible to as many ISPs as I need.. without requiring
any BGP mess. (my sites do not access the internet through these links
just use it as a transport for the VPNs.)
