You may have to tone it down a bit from 128bit. Try this link if you like source code http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/search?v=3DRELENG53&string=3DBSSID What is it saying about the BSSID 00:0D:3A:74:00:61? Are you trying to set the SSID=3DBSSID or soething like that? http://www.mpirical.com/companion/mpirical_companion.html The BSSID is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic =20 Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID =20 is the MAC (Medium Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point) and =20 in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly. The Service Set Identifier or Network Name is used within IEEE 802.11 =20 networks to identify a particular network. It is usually set by the =20 administrator setting up the WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and =20 will be unique within a BSS (Basic Service Set) or ESS (Extended =20 Service Set). The SSID may be broadcast from an AP (Access Point) =20 within the wireless network to enable Stations to determine which =20 network to =E2=80=9CAssociate=E2=80=9D with. However, this feature should b= e disabled =20 as it may assist =E2=80=9Chackers, or wardrivers=E2=80=9D in gaining access= to a =20 private network.
