They don't like anyone else anywhere nearby talking on the same
netblock. Whether 192 or 10, I've discovered that there are APs in
those ranges, and whether it's where the IP conflicts originated, I
can't say with any assurance. I can only say that using either of
those netblocks produced IP conflicts.

Makes no sense. Your Senao won't see IP addresses in a wireless network
unless it's both associated and connected.

At the moment I seem to have a
stable configuration using the 172 netblock.

Probably some other problem, or maybe you were connecting and didn't
know it. Switching may simply be masking a problem, which may still be
an issue. Better to figure out what's really going on and fix it.

"sailing router" is the name of one of the SSIDs (there are two with
that same name which show up in my Hawking adapter scans - the outfit
to which they belong have named both their routers 'sailing router') to
which I have normally connected, successfully. However, getting the
2611s to connect to the "sailing router" connection seems to be very
difficult, if not impossible, for whatever reason(s). My Hawking
adapter
(http://www.hawkingtech.com/products/productlist.php?CatID=33&FamID=102&ProdID=127)
sees and selects from many different APs, among them the two "sailing
router" (with different macs), currently 4 different "linksys" and many
other. I can successfully associate my Hawking adapter with perhaps
4-6 open sites on a good day, such as today. Right now, using the
space for SSID specification, I can only associate with something other
than "sailing router" - specifically, the strongest of the "linksys"
currently visible - on the 2611. Given that the APs visible are the
same on the 2611 or the Hawking units, at the same apparent level of
communication quality, I don't have any idea what's up with that. In
any event, I'm currently connected over one of the linksys APs visible,
as I can't successfully specify and connect to 'sailing router'.

I've already explained why the Hawking and Senao aren't comparable.
