It could be a result of interference with another AP on the same frequency. -- Douglas Otto - Sr Network Engineer Thermo Electron Corp - Madison Site 5225 Verona Rd Bldg 4 Madison, Wisconsin 53711

Began with Netstumbler and it started showing me some AP's as Fake in the Vendor field. I know that they are Cisco AP's, but am not too sure why they are displayed as Fake AP's I googled around a little but did not get any satisfactory answers - one on Netstumbler.org said it was a quirk in the version 0.4.0. Others suggested that I delete the Fake entry and retry - this also did not lead me anywhere Anyone 'stumbled' on some other explanations Rgds, Shankar
