I'm seeing one 'SSID', but endless consecutive 'MAC' addresses. In NetStumbler, there is no mention of a 'BSSID'.
Each MAC address appears, is active for only a few seconds, goes dead, then the next appears. This happens continuously as long as monitored. You end up with a long list of MAC addresses under the UKPIX SSID, but all are dead, except as new ones appear and then go dead. This has been going on contantly for weeks. -dave ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bernard Aboba" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 3:44 PM Subject: [BAWUG] Re: Access Point with multiple BSSIDs > >In my NetStumbler sessions I generally see a node called UKPIX.(but with > >an umlaut over the U).
