Adrian Chadd's Ramblings: October 2011

I'm sitting in a hotel here in Sydney, wondering if Qantas will allow my flight to happen on Monday, when I discover my 11bg AP interface here is going a bit bezerk-o with the stuck beacons.

This isn't terribly good - I thought I had fixed all the stuck beacon issues! Apparently not.

It turns out that in this hotel room, overlooking St Martins Place, I can see a whole lot of random crap. And this includes a very persistent little wireless client:
