Bingo, that's it.  Okay, out comes the old laptop and up comes kismet.
Let's find out what new kid on the block is stepping on me.  Darnit, I
knew I should have gone to 802.11a. :)  Once I figure out how to turn
a PC+atheros card into an AP, I'll probably move up there. (Yeah, I
know, it's not that hard, but I've never done it before).
