Find MAC address of wireless you're connected to
Is it possible to find this at all? I know you can do an ipconfig /all to show the local MACs of the internal NICs, but lets say for example that i'm connecting to multiple wireless APs with the same SSID, is it possible to find out the MAC address of the SSID i'm currently connected to?

As it's an AP and not a router, unfortunately it doesn't give you the MAC I'm not sure if there are any bits of freeware out there that can tell you the MAC of the SSID you're currently paired with...? -

This is probably your best bet. Start a capture right before you connect to the wireless network and find the packets involved in associating with the AP.
You might also take a look at Netstumbler. It might be able to do this. -

netsh wlan show interfaces
If you want to see what the BSSIDs are for the detected networks then use:
netsh wlan show networks mode=bssid -

Wow.. Thats really cool.
I am sure there are more impressive tools out there but as a rather new IT guy who studies for 70-291, what one can do with Netshell amazes me.WIP (Q2 - 2012):
