## Known Access Points

The Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Access Point can display a list of the known access points on the network derived from access point-to-access point communication. The list includes the MAC and IP addresses and configuration information for each access point. The first access point on the list provides the information. The access point recognizes other access points listed in subsequent lines. A broadcast message to access points every 12 seconds determines this list.
