ther access point is still there.
this just happens when greenmonster's signal is stronger than
linksys_9f's.
sorry, but this is so frustrating to me, i can tell ifconfig to use a
certain nwid, channel, &c; but as soon as it gets a better signal from
another access point, it's game

according to an off-list e-mail, wi(4) doesn't currently support
setting the bssid and the man page lied to me. is this the case,
or was the error a result of something else?

yes.
thanks,

hi misc,
the man page for ifconfig is very concise for bssid. why isn't this correct?
$ sudo ifconfig wi0 bssid "00:13:10:e8:9f:44"
ifconfig: SIOCS80211BSSID: Invalid argument
$
thanks for your help. (more info follows)

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,
