Basically, you circumvent fake-ap the same way as you do with MAC
addresses filtering or SSID cloaking: observing legitimate clients.
Which falls back to trivial, passive traffic monitoring.
So, considering the previous, it is at best useless. But, if reliability
and availability fall into your ideal scope of security, fake-ap will
only waste your bandwidth proportionally to the number of faked AP you
set up. Therefore, it can also be harmful...
