There is some merit to this idea. Then we could attach IBSS, WDS, STA, or AP sub-interfaces (with or without ethernet encapsulation) in a manner similar to how VLAN sub-interfaces are attached to ethernet devices today. Of course, I seem to remember ranting against that model a few months ago. I'll just wave my hands and call it pragmatism... :-) John -- John W.
