Wireless LAN by the user of Makelan

["Emad A. Qaddoura" <eaq@faith.mynet.net>]

Hi,

    In regards to supporting wireless LANs by make-lan, the email below
indicates that it is not supported. Can someone confirm if it supported
in ns2.1b5? or is it supported in ns2.0?

thanks,
Emad.

make-lan is used to create wired lans and doesnot support creation of
wireless lan. it might be a good idea to extend make-lan or have
something
like make-wirelesslan as a one step method of creating and setting up a
wireless topology. (to be added to our to-do list)

for now, you could make a wireless lan by creating mobilenodes as in the

example script wireless.tcl or wireless-test.tcl in ns/tcl/ex.
