AP modes:
* ap-bridge - Basic access point mode.
* bridge - Same as 'ap-bridge', but limited to one associated client.
* wds-slave - Same as 'ap-bridge', but initially scans for AP with the same <var>ssid</var> and establishes WDS link. When connection to that AP is lost, AP will scan for it and reestablish link.
 
Special modes:
* alignment-only - Put interface in a countinuous transmit mode, that is used for aiming remote antenna.
* nstreme-dual-slave - allow this interface to be used in nstreme-dual setup.
 
MAC address translation in pseudobridge modes works by inspecting packets and building table of corresponding IP and MAC addresses. All packets are sent to AP with the MAC address used by pseudobridge, and the MAC address of received packets is restored from the address translation table. There is single entry in address translation table for all non-IP packets, hence more than one host in the bridged network cannot reliably use non-IP protocols.
