Hi Mick,
I'll be glad to do what I can to test this for you. I have another
Wallstreet II I can try it on. I can also swap the disk drive with the
Ti powerbook to make sure it isn't something to do with my software
setup on this Wallstreet. If all goes well, I'll be able to try that
tonight.
More notes below:

I don't recall this happening a while ago on earlier drivers, but I
will check it out.
Maybe that can give you a hint where to look.

Hmmm.... I didn't know that there was a way to look back at previous
data. I'll have to look more into that.
I still think that having an SSID of blank doesn't give us as much
information as the name did. At least on our access points, the name
shows up every so often. The administrator tried to make it harder to
connect to them by hiding the SSIDs, and it makes it more difficult for
me anyway when I'm trying to figure out which one is which.
Thanks,
Rob
