Thnak you, Tom.  I'm trying to rephrase my Wireless LAN question.  Also I
add more details what I'm trying to.


I'm planning to make a wireless LAN access point with a single PC for an
experimental ham radio station in Japan.  With the band plan of Ministry of
Post and Telecomunications Japan, the channel 6 for IEEE802.11b/g also may
use the channel frequency for the 2.4GHz ham radio band plan.  For quolifing
as a ham radio station, the wireless LAN AP  ham radio station have to
capable to exchange the ham radio call signs during the wireless LAN
connection.  So I'm assuming, may modify the SSID field to exchange the ham
radio call signs.  However, the original SSID field is used for recognaizing
the wireless LAN AP.  And if mismatching the SSID for both the AP and
clients PC, will not able to comunnicate between the AP and clients PC.  So
I'm looking for the way to modifiy the Wireless LAN PC care driver and/or
source code to change the usage of SSID field for the call sign.

If anyone know about how to do and/or what to do.  And any other idea,
please let me know.

Best regards,

Takuya
