Hello,
I'm using WPA to connect to my various Wifi AP's (office, home, partner
locations) and have them well configured in the wpa_supplicant.conf(5)
file;
from time to time at home I encounter that it is associating with an
unknown AP of my neighbourhood:
# ifconfig iwi0
iwi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:13:ce:a1:e6:81
inet 192.168.2.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255

xxxxxxxxxxxx 00:14:6c:44:aa:f6 11 54M 13:0 100 EP WPA
the network with SSID 'o2DSL_kJaR' is not im my
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf;
how this is possible and how can I prevent this?
thx
matthias
