[MLB-WIRELESS] DWL-650 question.

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

In ad-hoc mode when there isn't a connection established you will see the
remote cards MAC address constantly change with each beacon.  Once there is
a connection from another card the MAC stops rolling.

I've never really looked into why this is, but it's normal with all cards
in Ad-Hoc mode.

ps...dlink ewwwwww
