Hmm... I'll have to check when I get home, but I was pretty sure the software for my RangeLAN 802.11b PCcard for my laptop allowed me to specify what channel to use. Could be wrong though.

I have to tell you a funny story.
My BIL is a cop, and while he is single pc literate, he has a heck of a time with the "whole networking concept". My brother went over there to set up his wireless network (Dlink) and typed in an address and went to the router, he logged into the Linksys router, and set up wap and all the stuff (including the addresses it already had given ip's to) and then noticed his mistake. He had logged onto another police officers, unsecured network. He then set up my bil network, and a few days later, 3 of the 4 detected networks on that block, had been secured. While I don't recommend it, if you set up thier security to wap, and they had to redue it, they might be more inclined to do so in the future.
