Try setting the MAC address in the router to the MAC address on the cable/dsl modem.

The message just means that a wireless client was not able to connect properly, and then it was disconnected.

Changing your MAC address won't do anything.

So this is a bug? How to eliminate this problem?

No, it is NOT a bug.  It's FAR from a bug.  It's just a simple thing where your wireless clients cannot connect properly.  Update drivers if you need to. 

Do you use your wireless?  Do you use any sort of security on it?

Well, then you are okay.  Again, it's not a bug.  It's just a simple message where one of your wireless clients cannot connect properly.  Or, they attempt to and it fails.  Having a MAC address of all 0's means that it didn't authenticate in the first place, otherwise a valid MAC would have been there.

Soo...do you have anything else trying to connect? Or scanning for your network, but doesn't now?

Either way, you are okay.  You should be fine.

I got this message when I had an incompatible client trying to connect (sony psp) compared to what I had for settings in my wireless router. The router was set to N/G. The PSP that my roomate has, will only connect at B. Shag that!.

Same went with another client, a destkop computer, was not compatible with my settings in the router, so I had to initially set the router with WPA TKIP (gross) and G. When he decided to install the service packs for vista everything worked out.

I dont know the reason behind it not showing the mac address in the router logs though.
