This contribution is from Francesco Malandrino, 1/5/09 ns-3-users post.

Quoting:
"Hi,

Attached the "magic DHCP" I was talking about.
Functions are (shortly) documented with comments; you basically do the 
following:
1. add APs, stating base (network) address, e.g. "192.168.1." and first 
available IP (eg. 2 if the AP has 192.168.1.1). Note that only /24 
networks are supported;
2. add stations.

The manager takes care for both addressing and routing. Additionally, 
you may specify one or more multicast route, in case you use it (by 
default, multicast frames sent from your stations won't be automatically 
forwarded).

Also note that if you use this component you do NOT have to call 
GlobalRouteManager::PopulateTables.
Ah, stations (more correctly: WifiNetDevices of stations) do need to 
have a (any, possibly a bogus one) address when they are not associated, 
so please make sure not to Add WifiNetDevices without an address, or 
Send from your applications will fail.

Comments or suggestions are welcome (especially if you want to turn this 
stuff into a DHCP implementation ;))

Francesco"
