Hello all,

I’d like to write a Ruby plugin to query the Skyhook Wireless API for  
geolocation information. However, I’m not sure how to go about  
discovering what the BSSID is for access points a device can see. Does  
anyone have any insight as to how to do this? Eventually, this will  
need to be done via javascript, so if anyone knows of a javascript  
project that already does this I’d gladly take that too. 🙂

–  
Thanks!  
Bryan
