Like I said, "the BSSID is the same on both (a) and (b/g)", so, yes, my AP (a D-Link) has the same BSSID/MAC on both bands. I do not believe there is any way for me to change this. In fact, it uses the same BSSID/MAC on ALL three "interfaces" (802.3, 802.11a, and 802.11b/g) > Dan -derek -- Derek Atkins, SB '93 MIT EE, SM '95 MIT Media Laboratory Member, MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) URL: http://web.mit.edu/warlord/ PP-ASEL-IA N1NWH [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP key available _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
