OK something's going on with my wireless, I think someone's trying to hack it. I regularly get disconnected and using Netstumbler I have observed the following:

To me this looks malicious.

Just so you know on my network I am using WPA-PSK encryption and MAC address filtering, and the SSID is not broadcast.

While Netstumbler shows the MAC addresses I cannot connect to my network, and this is happening a lot. It's been going on for about 2 months now and it's getting very annoying.

I want to know what I should do about it. I'm fairly sure it's a hacking attempt and whoever it is must live close by.

I hope someone can give me some advice.

Thanks.
