In active scanning, the client sends a probe frame to search for available access points. This probe frame includes the desired SSID or a wildcard SSID. The access points within range reply with a probe response frame, containing their SSID, supported data rates, and other information. The client then selects an access point and sends an association request frame to start the association process.
