ok, thank you!   This explains my inability to perform bridging like I 
expected to....

If I want to turn a PC into a full-blown "access point", should I set 
wicontrol to peer to peer (3) or BSS (1) ?

Secondly, should I turn on the "create BSS" (I am almost positive I should) 
- but this leads me to:

thirdly, are the fixes that allow wi to "create BSS" also "in the tree" ?  
or does the man page warning that it does not work still valid ?

(I was using 4.3-RELEASE, btw)

thanks.
