If I understand it correctly, you will remove 802.11 header and build new Ethernet header in the first case and vice versa in the second case. One of the results will be that the communication between two stations associated to the AP is not possible. Well, I don't understand what it is good for (or maybe I haven't understood you at all?) but if you plan to implement 802.11<->Ethernet conversion in the bridging code, I'm definitely interested as this may solve some problems with the generic 802.11 stack. -- Jiri Benc SUSE Labs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
