802.11f has been withdrawn by the IEEE, so the IAPP project seems to be

of limited value right now.

<h2>IAPP preauthentication in hostapd</h2>
<p><strong>Technical contact</strong>: <a
href="mailto:sam@FreeBSD.org">&a.sam;</a></p>
<p>IAPP is the Inter-Access Point Protocol, a protocol by which
cooperating access points communicate about associated wireless
stations. FreeBSD lacks support for this aspect of the protocol in the
hostapd program used to construct a WPA-enabled access point. This task
would port the Linux code that exists to support IAPP in hostapd. This
mostly involves rewriting some user-mode multicast code and testing the
result.</p>
<p><strong>Requirements</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Good knowledge of C.</li>
<li>Wireless networking fundamentals.</li>
<li>Wireless network setup.</li>
