Hi all,
I was just going through some articles and I read that APs are similar to
stations with additional logic implemented for coordination. I also read
that any station shall have the capability to be an AP. Now my doubts.

1. Does that mean that I will have a seperate/ same MAC implementation for
APS?

2. Is there any thing like an LLC in 802.11e spec?

3. I understand that DS comes between MAC and LLC. Is the DS seperate for
802.11e or similar to 802.11?

4. Is there any implementation(source code) available for MAC?

5. Suppose I need to build an 802.11e MAC layer, Can I use the 802.11a/b and
just add the Qos details into it?

6. How do the application tell that a particular application need to have
Qos parameters and how it this info given to the MAC?

Hope somebody will help me out with these.

Thanks in advance
