Oh, now I see. APs don't communicate with other over their wirelessinterfaces--making for no redundant links. This is why STP is totally unnecessary on APs.Bridges, however, do communicate with APs or other bridgesmaking redundant paths a possibilty. Thanks tomsnetworking.com! Todd
I know this is off the subject but.. My company has recently begun implementing wirelessnetworks, using all Cisco equipment. Base on my reading, it looks like you should only use Spanning Tree Protocol with wirelessbridges, not with access points. Why is this? What's the difference between a wireless access point and a wireless bridge?
But which would have given them better performance, the Linux kernel or the FreeBSD kernel?
I'm also quite impressed with GNU GRUB, and yes that is the correct URL. They claim it's not yet an official release but it works great.
