I appologize for my ignorance, but when you say 'WDS', do you mean
something having to do with 802.11f?

I've been trying to figure out just what WDS is from this thread:

http://lists.personaltelco.net/pipermail/general/2002q1/005791.html

But so far I'm not getting a clear picture. Jason Luther seems to indicate
that WDS is largely proprietary thus far, which makes me wonder how a NetBSD
guy could do anything useful with it. I think it may be IEEE standard
reading time for me:

Thanks.
