In Netdisco 1 you would have to go into the database and create a new 
dummy device with some ports, which can then act as a bridge between the 
wireless station's antenna port, and the other connected devices. That 
device name can feature in the manual topology file.

I believe that if you give the device a "vendor" of "netdisco" then it 
will be ignored by the automatic discovery/etc processes. I think there 
was a thread on this list recently which might have included more 
detail.

In Netdisco 2, there is first-class support for such pseudo-devices, 
with pages in the web interface to create the device and make topology 
links between ports (no more topology file).

I hope this helps,

regards,
oliver.
