Hi, I think there is some confusion here. A WiFi device has its own configuration, e.g., it can be put into modes like "ad-hoc", "managed", "master", etc. I believe Chun-Yeow is referring to that.
On the issue of OVS (or the older reference software switch) working with wireless devices, I can ensure you that this can be done. At the minimum, I can say that we have done this many times over, both as an AP and in a wireless client. Shreya's problem is something else. It might help to provide a diagram of the setup so that everyone has a better understanding of why the switch is constantly disconnecting. A tcpdump of the control traffic would help to reveal the truth too.
