results in all available networks being located by the card. In addition, every wireless
card I've seen (Linksys, IBM, ArTem, Proxim (or Prism) and Cisco) came with a Win

assume this eliminates interference that might exist when using "Any"). Wouldn't be
surprised if other cards had similar utilities or for there to be Mac versions.
