I don't normally use IE but I have tried IE8(8.0.6001.18882) in Vista
and in order to see the graph of AP's I had to use the "compatibility
view" function from the "Page" or "Tools" drop down list. With or
without using "compatibility view" I get a list of AP's correctly
identified as 11g or 11n.

Yep. I ran it again under IE 8, this time with the "compatibility
view" enabled, and the graph shows. However, the list of AP's still
show 802.11b for all the various neighborhood AP's. Probably
something wrong with my Linksys WMP54G PCI card. The Meraki tool
works correctly on my Toshiba something laptop.

However, there's yet another bug/problem. I have dual SSID's enabled
on my Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 wireless router. Both interfaces should have
sequential MAC addresses. The Meraki utility reports them as:
00:16:01:97:fd:a8
02:16:01:97:fd:a9
The 02 should be 00 and is wrong. Same problem with both IE8 and FF
3.6.

I assume you are running DD-WRT. I think this is a DD-WRT bug, I have
just borrowed a G54 from my neighbour and set up 2 VAP's and when you
check using Xirrus's WiFi Inspector you get the same problem. I also
checked with a couple of other sniffers including Inssider and had the
same problem. As a matter of interest the 2nd VAP's MAC did not follow
sequentially but was 2 less than the "main" AP-
AP ended E6
VAP1 ended E7
VAP2 ended E4

From a usage point of view it won't be a bug as I suppose they are
trying to avoid any MAC address conflicts with Buffalo products.

Good point. MAC address duplication could become a problem. I should
have checked the router. The Meraki tool is working correctly.

However, I just noticed that they also changed the last octet as well
as the first for the second SSID. No need to also change the last
octet, unless this some old code from when Brainslayer didn't change
the first octet.

I'm running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (07/21/09) std. Hmmm... probably time to
try the latest version.
