I'm looking at some 802.11b signal. What is causing those two distinct "drops" at arround +-10Mhz?

I'm curious too. The 2 linksys routers with DD-WRT I have don't do that, but the La Fonera with Openwrt I have does.

I'm not 100% clear on the technical details, but the notches in the spectral signature are characteristic to 802.11b transmitters. It seems to be a pattern generated by the DSSS modulation scheme. I have seen several references on the Internet, where researchers use these notches to recognize 802.11b networks when attempting to identify interfering transmitters.
