Hello

i have this coming out of iwevent all the time:

Code:

09:44:47.133702    eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to 
00:02:72:00:7C:1D  : ACCEPTED
09:44:47.144223    eth1     Custom driver event:Associate request to 
00:02:72:00:7C:1D  : ACCEPTED
09:44:47.144512    eth1     New Access Point/Cell address:00:02:72:00:7C:1D
09:45:53.946463    eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to 
00:0D:88:A0:CF:9D  : REJECTED
09:45:54.233148    eth1     Custom driver event:Link lost
09:46:10.335533    eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to 
00:0D:88:B9:5C:CA  : REJECTED
09:46:12.130492    eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to 
00:0D:88:A0:CF:9D  : REJECTED
09:46:13.925553    eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to 
00:0D:88:B9:5C:CA  : REJECTED
09:46:15.720540    eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to 
00:0D:88:A0:CF:9D  : REJECTED
09:46:17.524751    eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to 
00:0D:88:B9:5C:CA  : REJECTED
09:46:23.413001    eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to 
00:0D:88:A0:CF:9D  : REJECTED
09:46:24.698523    eth1     Custom driver event:Authenticate request to 
00:02:72:00:7C:1D  : ACCEPTED
09:46:24.700882    eth1     Custom driver event:Associate request to 
00:02:72:00:7C:1D  : ACCEPTED
09:46:24.701201    eth1     New Access Point/Cell address:11:C0:60:DF:E8:DB


which has me thinking that the access point's 00:0D:88:B9:5C:CA and 
00:0D:88:A0:CF:9D is corrupt in some way or im not allowed to use them. Is 
there anyway to blacklist these two access points (preferable), or maybe to 
restrict it to only using the good one (00:02:72:00:7C:1D)?

The above iwlist snippet is after running:

Code:

iwconfig eth1 ap 00:02:72:00:7C:1D


which i thought was used to restrict which access points to use??
