And IMHO that's fine, what we're looking for is something suitable to build 
some high level services. That said we have to keep in mind the limitations 
it introduces and see if we can fix them.

In particular I would be glad to have a way out for the ESSID overlap problem. 
I think it'll depend on the backend implementations, but I'd like to be sure 
the public API won't get in the way.

Regards.
