Re: [Madwifi-users] Setting up 3 Access Point Implimenting WDS

[AM <ma...@ve...>]

Thank Pavel for the feedback.  Now by using iwconfig ath0 ap MAC, does this 
defeat the idea behind WDS?

You suggest using seperate interface to every peer I want to connect to. Do 
you mean I have to add more card to box am using or virtual interface?
I was hoping from the documentation online one can implement a true WDS 
whereby each repeater will have information about surrounding repeaters by 
using wds_add MAC.
I guess I still have a lot more to read.
If you have any sample configuration, I will very much appreciate it.

My Setup: (all my box/server are identical)


My OS is:  Fedora Core 6
Madwifi Version: madwifi-0.9.3.1
2 Wireless PCI (A+G, B+G)

Thanks again

Audu
