If I do this, Where do the packets go? does the AP software get them or 
does linux get them some how?
Also, what does hostap do with management packets it doesnot understand, 
am I correct
in assuming that the AP software gets them?

I am working on some 802.11 extentions that will enhance the usefullness 
of city-wide wireless networks.
Is the hostap group interested in them?
