This is just an "more makes no sense" behaviour. Here is an interesting hack to have 53000 SSID's on one Radio: http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/ Sadly, some dumb commercial vendors (e.g. cisco) claim to have "multi-ssid capable hardware", but it doesn't make sense to have different SSID's on one AP, please make an real-world-example for a senseful operation. (different vlan-tagged ssid's does not count - all those people haven't unterstood, where the security layer is und what airtime means...) Another sad thing: the pseudo-admin's try to compare the product by "how much SSID's does this thing support?" (rater than asking for clear 802.11-compliance) Short homework: Calculate the airtime for one beacon. (hint: it's a management frame, it also needs collision avoidance and exponential backoff and is _normally_ send with slowest basic rate - would be nice to have this as an config-option, lets say: beacon-interval = 250; beacon-rate = 12mbit) bye, Bastian
