Re: Please make sure that you do not run your WLAN in ad hoc mode

2005-11-10 12:14:38
This seems to be a recurring problem at every recent IETF, regardless of host and AP vendor. Maybe 802.11b is just not suitable for our STA density. Is there a way to VLAN these MAC addresses into the "get a clue" web page redirector?

One would hope that none of these adhoc mode laptops have malicious MiM intent.

Here are MAC addresses of some cards that I currently see advertising various ad hoc networks. At least some of these were present also in yesterday's plenary.

Network name   MAC

Netgear        02-00-10-62-A3-6D
IETF64         02-00-31-9B-69-47
Netgear        02-00-61-76-D2-79
linksys        02-0C-F1-EC-CF-9E
TC_2           02-0E-35-03-D4-C4
IETF64         02-12-F0-00-33-FD
wireless       02-27-97-94-65-56

If you don't know how to check your MAC address or how not to turn off ad-hoc capability, it may be better to turn off WLAN altogether.

Thank you,
