It turned out that sometimes near our building other small companies appeared on air. I don't really understand why they can be seen only sometimes with $ ifconfig iwi0 scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS mywifi xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:0b 11 54M 56:0 100 EP WPA default xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:eb 11 54M 37:0 100 EP SCHLxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxd6:cc 11 54M 31:0 100 EP SCHLxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx21:84 11 54M 31:0 100 EP SCHLxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx21:87 11 54M 31:0 100 EP and sometimes I only see my own one 'mywifi'. Any way, since I've switched my AP to use channel 7 all is fine now. Just to let you know in case others have the same trouble. matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC PICA GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e - w http://www.oclcpica.org/ http://guru.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ OCLC PICA GmbH, Geschaeftsfuehrer: Christine Magin-Weeger, Norbert Weinberger Sitz der Gesellschaft: Oberhaching, HRB Muenchen: 113261
