another wireless adapter or Access Point / Wireless Gateway
Router. The MAC address of the wireless adapter or Access Point
will be displayed in hex format i.e. BSS ID (Basic Service Set ID) =

adapter is associated to an Access point or another wireless
adapter.

Access Point and trying to detect the SSID (Service Set ID) of an
