one of the main reasons i'm using the hostap driver is that it gives the
functionality to turn off packet bridging which stops communications from
client to client on the local area network....this can be very beneficial
in a situation like a hotel or coffee shop where people don't really want
others to be able to see their computers.
my question is:
is there any other access point hardware that gives this
functionality? does linksys allow you to turn off packet bridging? or any
other off the shelf AP? i ask because i have one site that requires many
AP's and it would be more practical to use the commercial AP hardware. is
this called a "wireless switch"? this would seem like it was more "switch"
functionality.
if somebody could help w/ this issue, it would be great.
thx,
doug
