      when i ride my neighbor hood with netstumbler i find 7 access points called "turf" which i know is the school across the street but i cannot seem to get pfsense to show me all ssids? hopfully the kismet? gets answered then this wont matter.

      i have a 500mw amp running on rg12 up to roof to antenna (aprox. 30ft high)

        Afaik pfSense doesnt show all the availlable networks that are around.
        –> It doesnt scan the channels.

        But when you select a channel on the interface-config-page all the SSID's on this channel should show up on the wireless-status-page.

        We do what we must, because we can.

          What you're talking about (I think) is more suited to a product like DDWRT designed for war-driving etc where it will scan and auto-attach to wifi..
