I am not sure if Deliberant(ligowave) uses polling yet on this platform, I know that Engenius follows suit of all Senao happenings....But I do know that OSBridge uses polling on their 2.4 Wifi mac! If you know anything about a 2.4 wifi mac that you will need polling of some sort to get anymore than 25 to 50 customers on it, and that is if you are lucky. You can use MT Nstreme and do it, or OSBridge, if you want more than 20 to 30 on an AP, you are asking for trouble without using polling(and someone in the hidden node area).
