IEEE 802.11 allows only the own MAC address to be used as the source address (addr2) when operating as a non-AP STA in BSS (client in Managed mode). In other words, layer 2 bridging does not work properly. AP mode and WDS links can be used for bridging without problems, but this will of course require the driver to support these.
Ah forgot about that, I had only thought about AP/wired bridging. How would the prism driver actually do bridging in STA mode though? johannes
