Question: Is what you're seeing Beacons from Access Point(s) with different (consecutive) BSSIDs and the same SSID? Are the Beacons on the same channel? Are the Beacon's identical in content? If the channels are different then you're probably seeing multiple access points. If the channels are the same, but the Beacon content is different (e.g. different rates or ciphersuites) then you're seeing a single physical AP advertising multiple "virtual APs". -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
