[Ns-developers] Complete 802.11 Infrastructure Mode Support for ns-2

[Tom Henderson]

I would like to ask people familiar with ns-2 802.11 to review Ilango's 
patch and documentation and provide comment to the list in the next week 
or so, if there is any concern about going forward with this patch for 
the next ns-2 release.  This infrastructure patch has been previously 
announced (with fewer features) and discussed throughout the year, so it 
ought to be somewhat familiar to people.
