My vote is BSS by default. Firstly, the Prism driver will not support Raylink cards. The raylink cards do not use an Intersil chipset - they use a Raytheon one (and it's a lot harder to program - if_ray.c has 3650 lines, if_wi.c has 1599!). Oh, you probably meant a generic 802.11 layer. I do agree it's messy. There are no APs that will talk to the V4 raylink cards. I don't think the firmware does infrastructure mode. Any ideas on how not to violate POLA for V4 raylink owners?
