I've tested hostap with ~15 clients - as long as clients wern't doing anything
major to each other, it all ran pretty fine.  If a few clients started
simultaneously transferring files to each other, everything would go to shite
(simultaneous client->ap transfers didn't seem to affect much apart from
bandwidth).

Mind you, this is with July 2002 snapshot.  I've personally had nothing *but*
troubles with 0.0.3 for high node/outdoor stuff, apart from indoor connections
(I'm using 0.0.3 right now with an internal antannae and one client, and it's
fine).
