Re:(2) OpenAP+ IBSS and BSS with multiple FreeBSD Wireless Gateways

I understand what you mean. I thought of this but I want to go where
ethernet cant go. I need to use the same wireless card for
Simultaneous Bridge + Access Point + Repeater 
Like the OpenAP but unfortunately it doesnt work on pc
http://opensource.instant802.com/what_is_openap.php

I still dont understand one thing. If the OpenAP can do this
and the sources are available. Why can't somebody write a little program
for FreeBSD which will do the same on PC? =)
