It could be a result of interference with another AP on the same
frequency.

Hi,



  Was working on the Vulnerability Assessment of a client 
network with about 100 Access Points. Began with Netstumbler 
and it started showing me some AP's as Fake in the Vendor 
field. I know that they are Cisco AP's, but am not too sure 
why they are displayed as Fake AP's



I googled around a little but did not get any satisfactory 
answers - one on Netstumbler.org said it was a quirk in the 
version 0.4.0. Others suggested that I delete the Fake entry 
and retry - this also did not lead me anywhere



Anyone 'stumbled' on some other explanations



Rgds,

Shankar
