Re: [Madwifi-devel] an multi VAP issue

[c4linux c. <c4...@gm...>]

Open System authentication mode.

I've checked the beacon value and found all four aps beacon interval the same.
Then I set each ap's beacon interval with a different values, but a
strange thing happens: the latter overwrites the former ap's
value,why?

is it the beacon interval value a global parameter to all VAPs?
Thanks.
