Re: AP display name changes in Wireshark for 802.11

Hi Steve,

Check and make sure these frames contain a valid FCS checksum. Also, if 
you are comparing two Access Point BSSID's there is a chance the OUI 
will be slightly different as the BSSID's are guaranteed to be 
different. (The actual BSSID field in the MAC header is the MAC address 
of the Access Point).

Regards,
