I'm not 100% sure what you mean.. but when I scan using my usb prism2
card and leave my airport card on (and set on auto mode) I see probes
from it every once in a while.

Hello everyone. This is my first email to the mailing list. I
recently started using KisMac and I really like it a lot. I have a
few questions. Recently while scanning at home I found there a Probe.
What exactly does that mean. I read it means someone else is using a
stumbling program thats looking for access points. Is that correct.
I am getting a lot of packets from this prob as well. It seems like
everytime I change the channel for KisMac to search, I still get a
signal to the prob. Is there anyway that I can get more information
from this probe? Im not sure what exactly it means. Should I bring
my Wireless Router in the room where im getting the connection to get
more info? I dont mind if the person is connected to me, I just want
to get as much info as possible. I have ready the dumplogs but its a
bunch of nothing in there. I dont know how to use the linux programs
to show exactly what it is so I guess I am out of luck. I would like
to hear from anyone that cares to take there time to talk with me.
Maybe even through AIM convo. I am going to leave KISMAC running
while I goto work so i can get more packets, etc. Well I hope to hear
from someone. Thanks in advance.
