I am curious what information this is actually trying to convey. For instance, why is AP in two different places, with different values (2048 in first section, 8 in second) ? valid interface combinations: * #{ IBSS } <= 1, #{ managed, AP, mesh point, P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 2048, total <= 2048, #channels <= 1 * #{ AP } <= 8, total <= 8, #channels <= 1, radar detect widths: { 20 MHz (no HT), 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, 160 MHz } Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
