Physically I don't see how that's possible, unless there's another
access point within range using the same SSID set up by somebody
else. My router has no documented ability to use more than one SSID
and has been in use for several years, long before the Bookworm setup.

Putting wavemon in scan mode shows something like:

These entries change every few scans, and I don't know what the hidden ESSID entries represent.

Thanks for writing, and any insights!
