Erm, I have to add that master can be bridged to a wired network, since it is the central point, and this is the only way (without mesh, WDS, blabla.) to bridge a wireless network and therefore extend the layer 2 domain over the wireless layer 1 domain. The bridge limitation only applies to managed nodes (client). Sylvain
