I can't seem to find a way to disable beacons : and probe responses. They're handled by the Prism 2 firmware when : port type is 6 (host AP). I wish there was a way to disable them and : just manually do beacons and probes in the kernel so we could ignore : probe requests with unspecified ssid and optionally disable beacons. : I know that more than a few people want this feature. Couldn't you just set the interface to "-noarp" and then proxy-arp the appropriate cards based on MAC addresses? Isn't that the equivalent of what most base-stations do? In fact, the only problem I see is how to pass FreeBSD's MAC to the other end (is this just a problem with FreeBSD's "-noarp" option). --Jerry Open-Source software isn't a matter of life or death... ...It's much more important than that!
