Leopard Wireless Network Selection Issue
Since I am a student at the University of Minnesota I am constantly using my laptop on campus. The SSID for the University of Minnesota is" U of M Wireless" and I have it set in my wireless settings to automatically join this network. Just the other evening, when I was in my apartment and I turned my MacBook Pro on, I saw that it was trying to connect to an adhoc network also named U of M wireless. This scares me because someone could think that they are on a legit U of M wireless network but really be connecting to a rogue device. One would think that Leopard would be able to differentiate between connecting to a regular AP and an adhoc device. I am pretty sure that I saw that Tiger could do this differentiation and I am wondering why Leopard isn’t doing this.
