The reason I brought this up is that I came across what appears to be a slightly deceptive Honeypot WAP at John Wayne Airport (SNA) last week. There was a open public WAP provided by the airport which was working well (in Infrastructure mode on link and handed out proper IP addresses with an initial redirection to a Web page that had you agree to TOS).

However, I noticed another WAP labeled "Free Public WAP" which when you associated with it, didn't provide an IP address/Netmask or DNS info at all, and when you tried to link to it, it was in Ad-Hoc (client to client) mode rather than the Infrastructure mode you usually get with a real WAP.

I've heard of unkind folks out there who run a laptop with a tempting Ad-Hoc Wireless network name like this and wait to see if anyone logs in. Usually, they'll snare someone naive who is w/o a firewall or doesn't realize that they have Windows File sharing open...Big, fat, stupid, juicy targets.

Luckily the 770 is pretty locked down, or near as I can tell it's locked down.
