In an embodiment, the network security information is fragmented into a plurality of portions, and receiving the one or more frames comprises receiving a plurality of frames. In one such embodiment, each frame in the plurality of frames includes a respective portion among the plurality of portions.
In some embodiments, the method 600 further comprises (not shown in FIG. 6) determining, with at least one of i) the wireless network interface and ii) the processor, for each multicast frame, whether an address (e.g., a destination address, a source address, a BSSID, etc.) of a frame received at block 660 corresponds to configuration of the device 32 with network security information. In an embodiment, determining whether an address corresponds to configuration of the device 32 with network security information comprises determining whether the address is within a predetermined range. The method 600, according to an embodiment, further includes, for each frame received at block 660, extracting network security information in response to determining that the address of the frame corresponds to configuration of the device 32 with network security information.
In some embodiments, the method 600 optionally includes (not shown in FIG. 6), in response to connecting the wireless network interface to an AP of the first wireless network using the network security information, transmitting to the client station of the first wireless network, with the wireless network interface, a probe response frame having information indicating that the wireless network interface is connected to the AP of the first wireless network.
In other embodiments, the device comprises any suitable combination of two or more of the above features.
