How to see available networks (non-Airport Mac)?

I have a pre-Airport Lombard powerbook, OS 10.3.3, a Lucent
Orinoco Silver card and WirelessDriver 1.0.0b5. I can connect to
what I think is the strongest wireless network in the vicinity but
cannot figure out how to see a list of available networks. I thought
this is what the Airport Admin Utility did and that the driver can
coexist with this utility, but I can't get it to work at all.I tried
KisMac but got a kernel panic every time.

Suggestions? I'm grateful for any ideas on this.

go to http://versiontracker.com/macosx and search for MacStumbler.
APgrapher can help you with plotting signal strength and noise. There
is also KisMac.

Thanks, but MacStumbler and APgrapher don't seem to work with
non-Airport cards. MacStumbler says it doesn't detect an Airport card
and AP Grapher just says "error". Although there are some reports that
both work with 3rd-party cards, Airport cards are listed as being
required.
