    <p>I'm writing a Python module for finding nearby WiFi client devices. All my current scanner does is listen for Probe Requests and logs the clients MAC address.</p> <p>The problem I'm having is that I'm completely reliant on the device broadcasting a probe request for me to discover it. </p> <p>I'm wondering if there is any other way to discover devices. Using <a href="http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/1447501/Understanding-80211-Frame-Types.htm" rel="nofollow">this site</a> as a 802.11 guide, I've come up with the ideas:</p> <ul> <li>Send out Broadcast packets with generic SSIDs to see if clients respond. For example, sending out a broadcast with 'Netgear' as the AP SSID and see if any clients with known 'Netgear' profiles respond</li> <li>Send out disassociation packets to force already connected clients to rescan the airwaves</li> </ul> <p>I haven't tested these two ideas yet. Just spit balling.</p> <p>Thoughts?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
