O.k., that's difficult.

Don't blame my neighbours ;-)

However, I agree. That's the real problem. I cannot simulate my 
neighbours, neither their behaviour.

In this context, I remember a recent discussion in the German part of 
the usenet: There are apparently different strategies how WLAN AP choose 
their channel, particularly when adapting to a certain channel load 
situation. From that, I conclude, we would have to simulate not only 
different brands and different software releases.
