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 does.....but it is NOT a hub.

Does a hub have a DHCP server, ARP cache, understand 802.1x, WEP, WPA 
etc.....nope.

The only simalarity is that all hosts associated with the AP can recieve the 
traffic from the AP, as hosts would on a wired hub......other than that there 
is NO similarity at all.

Even if you can't grasp all of the above, just think of its ARP cache.....what 
happens when there is duplicate entries for a MAC address in an ARP 
cache.........
