Now I finally understand the vlan interface type. Neat. How do you bind stas to one vlan interface? Is it possible to do on the fly after EAP or similar? Anyway. Wouldn't it make more sense to not even allow setting a MAC address different from all AP interfaces, i.e. require that the VLAN interface have the same MAC as one of the AP interfaces that exist? And then there probably should be a check that prohibits binding a sta to a vlan interface that has a different MAC than the AP interface it is/was on... or something. johannes --=-oqMO/0n0p7Y5AlSW8gCA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIVAwUARSluV6Vg1VMiehFYAQJJLQ//Y+geD0S1n9xNxTOXeO1lvRA3nAc0gD0D NVdcQjnqYatfGP/dEjCKBd0TuEL1284ZddXpK6XLFa19/gmDrjk71m8j6EAzdLym sMa/OY6h78hk/lHj0+QOgkIMeu2r6D1Lv5kWOwfR7KD1yvLZYxOUVKLRi3KDe6Ih TS/1kFdMKu/ubenqh8cvjKB/NpoAPF6TClG4FcsF7doA5MJ3it9iDfTuNtH+f+i3 waTfhX5GPr8CZ4eH47+RDTqFsWz6fn1lKKuRM8NALGm60ZBcnBs1MSvCgLZZRPyq 8C9Lx0+g1BTwi2A9fyPYr7yu5M3WNa0p8xBBUmj/UU/Xn4ADW7aL/DDcWnAHNOEv v4YPv0aahYpF8CfFmM3anRKrnQPwG+aGP3ZLIRfMkDjEdO+tR41+lkF1r4e3JR83 EvUhZXyXvg1AkNSaGvE6u4Cdd+lq5PMYBieM8WmwpcbadiwN+/CN7HQU5mIrDOCG AwiJkcBd8uvZuF+2eXGrA90YOy3ZcbchnAXGNMo7Oa5t/N3QMUeFenGlXNKi+j3n NMuxE08+VEPa9sL1uPLOKrA8OnePQn+0cN85zrnC7JCuDuEW9n4Z400vsyYZDc37 NgWnCkgel+p1Vj1J0oCI/LWSwR/3g627tM3Ex2Wrl3IBa5k2FU3ezKKL7Ttm1g32 SzsWa0qVpdM= =2Ltr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-oqMO/0n0p7Y5AlSW8gCA--
