I appologize for my ignorance, but when you say 'WDS', do you mean something having to do with 802.11f? I've been trying to figure out just what WDS is from this thread: http://lists.personaltelco.net/pipermail/general/2002q1/005791.html But so far I'm not getting a clear picture. Jason Luther seems to indicate that WDS is largely proprietary thus far, which makes me wonder how a NetBSD guy could do anything useful with it. I think it may be IEEE standard reading time for me: http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/802.11.html Thanks. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
