In XP, its very difficult to determine this... I believe they're adding something to Vista to correct this.

On Mac OS X, the Internet Connect utility will show you the MAC address/BSSID of the AP you're connected to. You can also find this information from dmesg. Look for a line similar to the following:

AirPort:  Link Active:  "UTDALLAS" - 000ce6a56f26 - chan 6

Is there any trick to determine the radio MAC address of the associated AP on an XP or MacOS-X client *without* using a 3rd party application like NetStumbler?

Our help desk would like to have this data point when opening up a trouble ticket.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

Can anyone share any info they might have on using WPA2 and 802.1x on a Mac running OS/X? We don't officially support them, and I don't have one here for testing, but I'm being told it can't be done/doesn't work. If
anyone has some info I could use to get started, I'd appreciate it!
Oh, it works great. The consensus seems to be that it's easier to set up
than on a Windows box.
