It looks like a MAC.  Our home network has a BSSID of 00:0C:41:66:81:A8,
which is the MAC stamped on the bottom of the LinkSys WAP11.  Is the
BSSID always the same as the access point's MAC address?

More generally, am I the only person whose WiFi works with some
networks but not with others?  Or do you guys have the same problems?

(I know about the "WiFi never works" problem.  My wife's temporary
laptop is in that category.  The new permanent laptop arrived last
night, and it has an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200.  Fun...)
