We tested WaveLink Mobile Manager Version 5.7.2 in a 4,000-square-foot building using several access points, including those
from Proxim, Cisco and Symbol Technologies. We added several "rogue" access points from these vendors, as well as those from
D-Link, Linksys, APC, 3Com and others. Rogue detection was tested in several ways, including using them with spoofed media
access control addresses, using old and unsupported firmware, and other "tricks."
We used several notebooks and desktop PCs from HP, Sony, Apple and Toshiba. CardBus adapters included those from D-Link, Proxim,
Cisco, Microsoft, Linksys, 3Com and Netgear. Operating system clients included Windows 2000 Professional, XP Professional
with Service Pack 2, GNU/Linux Xandros 3.0, Apple OS X 10.2.x and 10.3.x, and an HP iPaq with Windows CE. We installed the
server application on XP with Service Pack 1, and later onto an HP DL360-G2 with Windows 2003 Server.
