Another thing that bugs me: When the probe stopped, we tried to
verify our suspicion. So the MacBook was set to scan actively and
the MacBookPro passively. However, no probes showed up. Is this
after all just a glitch in the driver?
I'm not sure.
Well, if the athereos-driver has problems, this could also be the
solution. However, since we got some networks, the probes have either
been send out or it was using passivemode after all, ignoring hidden
ssid's.
If you don't have anyone with our cardid's in your tester's database,
gimme a call.
Last point: Our wirelessrouter is jumping between two channels
(which it shouldn't). We also experience some connectionproblems
from time to time. Is this something that happens due to
reflections and doublesignals through walls and other
disturbances, so that the frequency changes?
If the signal is strong enough, it can bleed over onto other nearby
channels. That's perfectly normal. When you're right next to a high
power AP, it can even happen up to 6-7 channels away.
As for connection problems occasionally - what brand of gear is it
all?
It's a netgear WGT624 (which is a piece of junk, IMO - only supported
browser is InternetExplorer, Safari is unsupported but works; no
Firefox, no mozilla, ... ). Anyway, got a Cisco/Linksys WRT54GL here
to check it out.
