He also does some trick whereby you won't see the AP by default. You have to have the correct settings to start or the AP is invisible to you. Don't ask me how he's done it, I don't know.
most decent aps have the ability to turn off ssid broadcast. that way people will (should) only be able to find your ap if they already know it exists. one thing to watch out for is users of mircosoft's zero-config in xp. it has issues with finding aps with the ssid broadcast turned off even if the settings are already there. if possible, use the manufacturers drivers/config in windows as they don't have the same problem.

What does the command look like that sends unwanted things to /dev/null ? Thanks, Jerome
