[MLB-WIRELESS] Dlink 900AP as client?

[paul van den bergen]

Actually, this raises an interesting question....

how quickly does an AP switch between modes?

Does the packet know how it is meant to behave (at the wireless frame level?)

Is it (theoretically) possible to have an AP acting as an AdHoc (IBBS) device 
for some traffic and an AP (BBS) for other traffic? At the same time or 
serially???

Same question for channel selection...
