The below is a broadcast probe request from an 3DS while in standby mode, with SSID "Nintendo_3DS_continuous_scan_000". When in "active" mode, 3DS sends probe requests with arbitrary SSID strings, like "ic[kSvm9s@*cYD>/~IEVj\(fGG;qDo8j". When in standby mode, ds-mode NTR wifi is used,(this includes SpotPass and StreetPass) but in "active" mode the regular TWL wifimmc bus is used.
