I'd suggest writing a plugin around this. I can't see the wider benefit though unless it is common to have devices that you want to check that don't have an ip address... it almost doesn't make sense in most normal usage since you usually need an IP on a host to get service from it. This AP seems to be a special case. Alternatively perhaps you could just plug in a wifi interface and then have a test that pings a host on the wired network to check the wifi? -h -- Hari Sekhon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
