Compatibility between hostap based AP and Bridge Cisco 340

[Projekt Manager]

Hi,

This might be dependent on the station firmware of your prism2 card.  If 
it is older than v.1.5.0, it has a documented problem in delivering TCP 
packets.

Check the WDS related documentation in README.prism2

Cheers.
