Is there any wireless connection manager that works with windows 7 that will let me connect to a base station using only its mac address?

If the system you're trying to connect to is local you can ARP it for the IP (at command prompt type "arp -a"). That way you could just connect normally. – Blomkvist May 27 '11 at 1:17

with wireless access points you connect thanks to an SSID set up, and using a network key. Not with anything else AFAIK. Hopefully you'll get an IP and internet access and it will work. You might see its MAC address, with inSSIDer. Once you're connected you could do arp -a as suggested, and see the IP and MAC.. but I don't see how it'd help you connect, or anything about the MAC has anything to do with connecting. – barlop May 27 '11 at 9:42
@Blomkvist: arp -a only lists mappings for already known IP addresses; also, the question is about WiFi access points, not IP. – grawity May 27 '11 at 14:12
Yes, grawity, I get that, hence the addition of the term "local" in my comment and as Barlop has answered the question this exchange is moot. As to the second half of your critique, you imply disparity where none exists. Perhaps I'm wrong, however, so I shall contemplate this through the medium of interpretive dance. – Blomkvist May 27 '11 at 17:37
