Halmos
Works, but increases my laptop's temperature by almost 20 C to almost 70 C. Quit the app, and within 5 minutes I'm back to 45 C - 50 C.

1. Some accesspoints for no reason come up as "-1mhz", and are seen on channel 0.
2. Why are the frequencies of accesspoints measured in mhz anyway. Channels are there for a reason. I know 2412MHZ sounds slgihtly more advanced, but for an app that is supposed to be simple, it's counter-intuitive. "Channel 1" is much simpler.
3. The frequency of 802.11a accesspoints is completely messed up. Intel Macs can detect 802.11a.
4. Why is it impossible to monitor more than one network at once? The app is operating in active mode.
5. There's a lot of holes in the MAC address table.
6. Why do Bluetooth devices, when found, report "17MHZ" as their frequency in the Growl popup?
7. The inspector for Bluetooth devices is horribly broken for devices where the name hasn't been gathered yet.
8. In preferences, why are there very low-res icons for the AirPort and Bluetooth tabs?
9. Why is it detecting several non-existant airport base stations with a BSSID of all zeros? Kismac, Macstumbler and the airport commandline tool are all not finding them, and they're not in the airport menu?
Apart from these, it's a nice app. Keep up the good work.

i'm on my mbp, CD 2.0, with 802.11n broadcom 4321 upgrade kit card...
