Yeah, I've seen dozens of 2wire's (followed by three digits) and the signals are hot. They also seem to be broadcasting nothing but mgmt frames as if they're never in use.

Anyone else noticed how the dreaded SBC "2wire" APs are intruding on the "default hotspot via open APs" model? They come out of the box with wireless on, WEP enabled, and each with different SSIDs (starting with "2Wire" and blast the #$%& out of everything around them.
We're starting to see them all over the place, and they're starting to create significant inteference problems for other network users. The only saving grace is they're mostly on channel 6, along with all the Linksys boxes.
cheers, michael
