Actually, one more question: Why does the kernel have to know at
*connect* time that it should be a PBSS? It could tell that from
the
scan results, by looking for PBSS if it can't find AP in there, no?

Yes it can be implemented that way. However we wanted user space to
be able
to specify exactly whether to connect to an AP or PCP. Since PBSS is
a separate
network type and we don't want clients to get an unexpected
connection to
a PCP. We also don't want to support roaming between a PCP and AP (it
is not
covered by the spec at this time)

ok, fair enough.
