ok.....here is the setup;
Laptop
==========
Win XP
Orinoco Gold Firmware 6.16
Sniffer 4.7
Sniffer Drivers
DHCP Disabled
AP
=======
NetGear ME102 AP with no Wep, Broadcast SSID off, and Mac address list enabled.
Results
=======
Netstumbler picked up the AP for a second but could not see the AP after that. My laptop would not connect. XP Wireless service would not find the AP at all. Using Sniffer 4.7 we were able to see another laptop which gave us the SSID, IP, MAC address.
We turned off the transmitting laptop and pluged in its MAC for my laptop card, also gave it an IP in the same subnet. Guess what, it works, we were able to access all resources of the network.
Since this was tested in a lab environment and it was our network no laws have been broken. If you try this on your own in the wild you take that risk your self.
