associated or authorized

Hi

I have seen (for quite a while) this in the wireless log:

00:20:00:91:69B associated

This is NOT one of my clients, a search on the net shows that this is a Lexmark MAC.
Normally when my clients connect I see:

[MAC-address] associated authorized

What I understand from the 802.11 standard is that a client can bee associated AFTER successfully authenticated???

So is this client connected to my router in any way?

Hi,

If this Lexmark is not your device: What about your naibours? They might have some Lexmark printers who want to connect to your WLAN...

With kind regards
