[MLB-WIRELESS] How not to go war driving....

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

My AP is completely open for anyone to connect to.  I've logged pretty much
every unknown MAC address that has connected to it.  I'm suprised there
haven't been more. :-\

00:d0:59:c8:68:5a
00:04:23:5b:b4:77
00:04:23:57:ff:54
00:02:8a:29:8a:69
00:04:23:7c:46:1c
00:e0:63:82:f7:49
00:04:23:7c:55:9a

A couple of these are pretty regular, at least every couple of days there's
a connection which is rather strange.  They usually don't grab an IP from
dhcp, and pass no traffic.
