    Shawn Jackman (Jack) CWNE#54 is a personal friend and has been a mentor to me for many years.  I've had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Jack for 4 years. Jack is a great teacher who takes complex 802.11 standards and breaks them down so almost anyone can understand the concept at hand. I'm excited for you brother. Great job and job well done! Put another notch in the belt!

The anchor controller is informed of the association request from the client by the foreign controller. However, the anchor is not aware of the AP to which the client is associating, since the L1 and L2 parts of the connection are managed by the foreign controller.

The anchor controller is being informed that the client passed the L2 authentication and that, after successful association, it is now going into the DHCP_REQD state.

Also, the controller is updating its status to be the Export Anchor for this client.

Sat Sep 27 10:45:39 2008: 00:0e:35:f3:60:53 0.0.0.0 Added NPU entry of type 9

The client entry is added to the Network Processing Unit (NPU) of the controller with an IP address of 0.0.0.0: this means that the client is successfully associated, but it does not have an IP address yet.
