She doesn't :-) A little light-heartedness never hurt :-) The BUG_ON was in the original Intersil code. Of course, if you ask the manufacturers, they will/do all say that this mode is not possible. (Well, they want you to buy their AP's) It's actually possible that the firmware doesn't stably support this mode; however without docs this is impossible to determine. Luis has got negotiations well under way with Conexant, so hopefully in the near future we will have relevant information. Margit
