Good point. It is definitely not a spec violation to mix ESSID or BSSID
on 11a and 11b/g. Although I'd still punch a vendor for reusing the
same BSSID.
Your fist will get awful tired! As I pointed out in my previous email,
my D-Link does this. :-/
How hard do you think it would be to not only keep (a) and (b/g) networks
separate, but also provide a clue in the UI which is the (a) and which
is the (b/g)? In a similar note, how hard would it be to add ordering
preferences in lieu of most-recently-used? My reasoning: I'd like to connect
to the ietf (a) network instead of the ietf (b/g) network when there's
an (a) AP in range.. But when there isn't an (a) network I do want it
to fallback to (b/g)...
Thanks for all your hard work!
