Hi Steve,

Check and make sure these frames contain a valid FCS checksum. Also, if you are comparing two Access Point BSSID's there is a chance the OUI will be slightly different as the BSSID's are guaranteed to be different. (The actual BSSID field in the MAC header is the MAC address of the Access Point).

Regards,

--Anthony

I notice that when I'm analyzing a wireless (802.11 b/g) capture of a client roaming, the access point display name gets resolved to a different name in some packet numbers even though its the same BSSID. Anyone know why this is?
