Well, while waiting for a "blessed" (or at least, 'stable') tarball to be pushed out, I tried running 2009-06-30, and I'm seeing a lot of:

00:21:29:69:3e:a0 is a PC running Vista SP2.

00:21:e9:6e:a7:4f is an iPhone running 3.0.

The iPhone should be scanning for available networks, but it's also been explicitly configured with this particular AP (and SSID).

Is this a known issue?
