The actual problem, i play with wlan cloning because of, is, i try to set up a FreeBSD based wireless access point either based on ral(4) or iwi(4) interface. The ral(4) (which is "Edimax EW-7128g") seems more suitable for that, since it has HOSTAP capability, but when i tried to run a hostapd(8) on it, i got an error about inability TKIP to be configured by hostpad(8). Since TKIP is not present as a capability of the wireless adapter, i decided to clone it and use the wlan_tkip(4) module to do the work. Thanks for your time!
