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

I think we should be very strict on this. All this people should get
filtered until they go to the NOC and make sure to get trained about how to
avoid ad-hoc !

FYI,

At the plenary last night the NOC team noticed 107 adhoc networks on
802.11b.  See attachment for the names & MACs.

Cheers,
Glenn.

It would be nice if people did not run their WLAN cards in Ad Hoc mode.

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,
