I forgot to ask as it didn't occur to me before. Are any of your SSIDs
"hidden?" I don't recall the strange terminology used by Proxim's web UI
but it seems like this used to be a default to not broadcast the SSID. I
eventually hunted down and changed mine to be "visible." q.v. the paper,
"Debunking the Myth of SSID Hiding."
