I'm confused as well. Maybe it is the old "cheater" way of having a
pseudo access point with routing.
Also if_wiap is required for Lucent cards. if_wiap isn't available
(free or not as far I know). For prism2 cards if_wi will support them
in host access point mode, once all the kinks are ironed out.
