ABSTRACT:
A method and system using a single wireless network interface to selectively accept for further processing frames transmitted in a wireless data communications network is disclosed. A host system may emulate multiple, concurrently active stations in the wireless network. Each emulated station is assigned a unique address. A network Medium Access Control (MAC) hardware address of the system's wireless network interface is dynamically updated to reflect the address of one of the emulated wireless stations. The method and system allow multiple wireless stations to be emulated with a single network interface device.
