It is highly unlikely that this will ever come to pass. Sure, you may
get to the point where you could get very basic AP functionality
cross-vendor, but there are so many vendor-specific custom features
requiring support in both the AP and controller e.g. Cisco's clean air,
that I doubt vendor A

makes it more difficult to switch to a competitor is a bad thing for the
consumer, and should be considered with your eyes wide open to the long term
consequences. In my mind, one would have to make an extremely
As I've said recently, I really wish that there was a standard that all APs
