ATTN: Bill Unruh

Bill, I see you posting a lot of wireless answers. Can you give some
recommendations along the following lines:

1. Hardware that is cheap and works well with linux.
2. (maybe a different category) hardware that works good for war driving.
3. Wardriving software.
4. linux WiFi sites that you can recommend.

Thanks!

The ipw came with the centrino laptop so it will not count. The wpc55ag is
about $100 Cdn. However you do not say what kind of card you want-- b,g,or
a?

Not sure what you want for "wardriving".

Linux has iwlist to list the access points which are locally stong enough
to detect.

Sorry no wifi sites.

But other people are much more likely to give you useful answers.

I would want a g that can also go down to at least b since there are so many
b nets out there.

thanks!

I believe all g do b as well.

Sounds like some Frank Sinatra lyrics. =B^)
