To a point yes.  Also, if we're going to support roaming nodes, having to
change SSID all the time would be a pain.  I've been using wireless.org.au
on my systems since it was suggested here nearly a year ago.  As it is, if I
configure my system to access my AP at home, I can just as easily walk into
a MW meeting and hook up to an AP there, because the AP's are usually
configured with an SSID of wireless.org.au.

Use the node name in the stationID.

Well spotted, if you ask me.
