I made confusion: forgive me!!! but I am a newbie with wireless.
If I go when I am in the office I get a "default " wireless network: I
have the doubt that someone has a non-protected network, maybe at the
restaurant sitting below my office!!!
Signal is very very weak.....I have to check also at home but usually
I do not get the "default" network, maybe that some Centrinos are
working around!!!

This is the output from a terminal....
/sbin/iwlist ath0 scan
ath0      Scan completed :
          Cell 01 - Address: 00:0F:3D:AC:7F:48
