Subject: ipw2200 0.14 issues.

When I loaded up my ipw2200 driver and ran iwlist wlan0 scanning I got the
following:

Except there were 18 the first time I did it.  Notice all of the mac addresses 
are the same.  I can still connect to the AP fine, but it did not list my ap 
multiple times like this before.

Comments from rhl@izzlazz.dk 11/23:

I see this as well. My Linksys WAP54G with hidden ESSID is listed 18 times as 
well, as long as I'm unassociated. Once I set up the ESSID and WEP key and 
associate with the AP, the number of times my AP is listed is reduced to 1-3, 
sometimes including one entry with the real ESSID, with the rest of the 
entries having "<hidden>" ESSID.
