Subject: WiFi question

I'm not 100% on this, as it could be something I've never heard of (of
course). However, it sounds a lot like someone is playing with
"FakeAP":
 - http://www.blackalchemy.to/project/fakeap/

It's not real difficult to setup and only requires a Prisim chipset
card (one or more) and a compatible Linux distro. It's been around for
over 2 years, but hasn't been touched for about the same amount of
time. See the site for more.
