Re: [Madwifi-devel] Same AP in multiple Channel

[Jim T. <ji...@ne...>]

Beacons are always sent at the "lowest basic rate".   This could mean  
2Mbps DSSS, depending on your setup.

Its actually possible to decode a 'nearby' (high RSSI) beacon on an  
adjacent channel.   This is why the channel number is part of the  
beacon.

So perhaps madwifi should 'filter' what it reads while scanning.
