This is a bitmap, I believe, so can’t it have both WLAN Access Point and MAC Bridge set at the same time, and that implies it is a GLK-capable AP. (There would be no way to distinguish the specific case of a GLK-capable AP that has the “GLK Required” mode set, but I don’t think that level of detail is needed here.) Mark From: Philippe Klein [mailto:philippe@xxxxxxxxxxxx] I exactly meant that. That GLK & non-GLK will not be discriminated by the system capabilities word. The question though is what system capability a GLK-STA should use? Mark suggested that a GLK STA is a MAC Bridge and this makes sense but what about the AP as there is already an entry for WLAN access Point and is GLK capable? To be consistent with the GLK STA the system capability must be MAC Bridge too but in the same time the AP could concurrently be a AP for non GLK STAs so what is the System Capabilities word in this case ? Thx /Ph From: Norman Finn (nfinn) [mailto:nfinn@xxxxxxxxx] There are only 32 bits in the System capabilities word. I think that distinguishing between GLK and non-GLK is too detailed to be reflected in a word intended to distinguish among bridges, end stations, routers, etc. But, perhaps that’s not what you meant. — Norm From: Philippe Klein <philippe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
