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 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid o2DSL_kJaR channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11g) bssid 00:19:cb:86:b3:84 authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:40-bit bmiss 10 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11g 7 roam:rate11g 5 protmode CTS roaming MANUAL # ifconfig iwi0 list scan SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS o2DSL_kJaR 00:19:cb:86:b3:84 1 54M 19:0 100 EP 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 -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e <matthias.apitz@oclc.org> - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ We should all learn from the peoples of The Netherlands, France and Ireland.
