WPA && associating with unknown SSID

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

I'm using WPA to connect to my various Wifi AP's (office, home, partner
locations) and have them well configured in the wpa_supplicant.conf(5)
file;

from time to time at home I encounter that it is associating with an
unknown AP of my neighbourhood:


# ifconfig iwi0
iwi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        ether 00:13:ce:a1:e6:81
        inet 192.168.2.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
        media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
        status: associated

# ifconfig iwi0 list scan

xxxxxxxxxxxx    00:14:6c:44:aa:f6   11   54M  13:0    100 EP   WPA

the network with SSID 'o2DSL_kJaR' is not im my
/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf;

how this is possible and how can I prevent this?
thx
