Donald, In looking at the minutes, I noticed this entry: "Comments:
There is
no such thing as a wireless AP-to-AP link in 802.11." There was not much context to the minutes
entry, so I thought I'd draw attention to the fact that there has
been support for "wireless AP-to-AP links" in .11 for a long time.
Interested parties can look for "wireless
distribution system" or "WDS". The feature is widely available,
for example it's a part of the dd-wrt firmware that is popular for
many .11 APs. Support in the standard for this dates back to the
early .11 days - it was part of the design requirements for the
"from DS" and "to DS" bits.
