The access point only registers the mac address of the wireless card itself so if you send Ethernet frames from other devices behind it the frame will not come back. There is a 4-address wireless frame format for this situation but FreeBSD does not support it yet. cheers, Andrew State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: matteo State-Changed-When: Sab 17 Mag 2008 10:53:26 UTC State-Changed-Why: Andrew explained why this configuration does not work. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=117227 >Unformatted:
