Well after running around for 2 days attempting to find the source of the wireless points, it stopped. We think that someone was running FakeAP, perhaps by accident (playing around at home then forgetting to switch off), all the peer-to-peer Access Points were of the same name and all the MACs were not corrupted. We narrowed the signal down to a specific desk, but there were no devices in the area (and no power leads going into drawers anywhere)... can only assume it was a PDA or something. One of lifes mysteries. Thanks for all the on and off-line responses very informative. Colin.

I'm still not convinced that, more than a few feet from a device, the interference would even be detectable.
Though two devices within 10 feet <both setup in the same room> of another might well conflict with one another, and might be what the original poster on device contention was running into.
