Maybe you could explain what happens to the AP's ARP cache when it had duplicate entries then?
You are getting confused between a hub and an AP - yes an AP sends and recieves traffic in the SAME WAY a hub doesbut it is NT a hub.
Does a hub have a DHCP server, ARP cache, understand 802.1x, WEP, WPA etcnope.
The only simalarity is that all hosts associated with the AP can recieve the traffic from the AP, as hosts would on a wired hubother than that there is N similarity at all.
Even if you can't grasp all of the above, just think of its ARP cachewhat happens when there is duplicate entries for a MAC address in an ARP cache

This discussion has wandered well outside the realms of penetration testing
and should probably be continued on the wifi-sec list. I will be blocking
further emails on this thread unless they have a direct relevance to
penetration testing.
