I have tried setup two wireless routers running FreeBSD using two 
minipci cards each one. I have discovery lagg do not work with 
interfaces in wlanmode hostap.

I can not do work using ad-hoc, sometimes links are made between 
interface on same router I think is less stable then links using hostap 
and station.

In that handbook there are examples with wireless cards for failover 
only, nothing for get more bandwith with two or more wireless links.

I am tring to do this:

-----------------                ----------------
|          wlan0|<-------------->|wlan0         |
|  Router A     |                |     Router B |
|          wlan1|<-------------->|wlan1         |
-----------------                ----------------

Router A: ifconfig lagg0 laggproto lacp laggport wlan0 laggport wlan1

Router B: ifconfig lagg0 laggproto lacp laggport wlan0 laggport wlan1

Main problem is: How do correct setup in wireless interfaces to work 
with lagg and make stable links?

Many thanks for the answer.
