Hello, 

I wanted to know what is the best way to build an ESS (extended service set aka group of Access Points) using FreeBSD. Knowing that we are looking at the classic features of such network: 

1. Couple of AP's configured with the same SSID
2. Authentication 
3. Security 
4. Roaming between AP's 
5. Communication between stations in the same ESS


The main problem to solve seems to be related to IAPP (Inter Access Point Protocol) aka 802.11f  
It is not very clear to me in which stage we are with this protocol and It's implementation… 



What would you advice ? 

How would you proceed ? 


Thanks for your support.
