Folks, Well I finished my drive around town.. within feet of several Walmarts, Home Depots and Kmart's front door and found nothing. Nada, no 802.11b networks at all. Perhaps this is only a regional thing? Or just brand new stores? These stores have been around for years. Perhaps the original poster could elaborate a bit on where they are located? Is it a new store? etc. Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Cunningham [mailto:m.cunninghamat_private] > Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 4:39 PM > To: vuln-devat_private > Subject: RE: Wlan @ bestbuy is cleartext? > > > Folks, > > I assume half the mailing list is going to be driving > around their towns tonight scanning for this problem.
