Abstract
Systems and methods are described for using client conduits to enable bootstrapping and fault diagnosis of disconnected wireless clients. Client conduits are used to enable disconnected clients to diagnose their problems with the help of nearby clients. This technique may take advantage of the beaconing and probing mechanisms of IEEE 802.11 to ensure that connected clients do not pay unnecessary overheads for detecting disconnected clients. Methods are also described for detecting rogue devices disguising as disconnected clients.
