I was auditing one of my plants today. A plant that has NO wireless, or at least should not have any, I was scanning with the program and picked up several SSIDs that were called "linksys". I thought at first that someone had a linksys AP in the building. The longer I let the scan go, the more of these occurrences occurred. Then I looked at the info and have some questions. Each entry said that it was on channel 11 and was in BSS mode.

I am sort of new to this war driving side of things and want to clear things up. I have used this in a couple of other plants and found valid APs. I guess what I am trying to get at, is how do I determine that there is a problem here ? There is supposed to be no wireless in this particular plant. I find it hard to believe that there could be 10 APs named "linksys" in this one plant. Could this device be picking up laptops that have linksys cards ?
