hi misc,
there are three access points that i can pick up that have the same
ssid. is there a way to specify the mac address of the access point i
wish to use? i have only figured out how to specift the ssid
(wicontrol -n), but then it's a toss up which access point i get.
thanks much,
lucas reddinger
