Why do you think that IP address is 'invalid'? Many ISPs assign
IP addresses from the private spaces and do NAT at the head end.

A client radio does not broadcast beacons; with no significant traffic
on this client, there is little RF to do direction finding. Netstumbler
is not suited for direction finding in any case; there are other tools
for that. Being that this is FHSS, you wouldn't see it with conventional
software tools anyway; you might as well be sniffing for baby monitors
or microwave ovens.
