     7The AP uses ETH A as its interface to the Distribution System (DS), as it is called in the 802.11 spec. Refer to the [wiki:../../MAC/Upper/AP AP docs] for more details. Note: ETH A defaults to using a 1Gbps speed. It will not auto-negotiate to 100 Mbps when connected to a slower Ethernet port.

    99In practice the ETH A interface should be connected to an Ethernet network with access to the wired network resources your experiment requires. In many experiments this means connecting ETH A to a wired network connected to the Internet, such as to a LAN port of a home router. The AP code will pass through DHCP, ARP and IP traffic from wireless client to the wired network, allowing wireless clients to receive DHCP address assignments and exchange data with Internet services.
