I would be interested in a wireless network sniffer as well. I'll be
moving closer to a brother-in-law who wants help expanding his ISP
services. Such a tool would be helpful in determining "populated areas"
in a sort of "pre-marketing survey" method. =20
Cool idea!

Has anyone written a wireless network sniffer? I would like it to test
out my
new wireless network that I am building, but I think it would be great
for=20
detecting networks for war chalking. I'm not interested in stealing
bandwidth,
I'm just interested in seeing how pervasive the wireless world is in
Silicon
Valley.
What I'm looking for is something like MacStumbler (see
http://www.macstumbler.com)
that would allow me to find wireless access points that are available to
the=20
public for their use. There are quite a few companies, airports, coffee
shops,=20
restaurants and hotels offering WiFi for open use. I would like
something for=20
my Newton that would send out probe requests and notify me when it finds
a public
network.
Anyone working on something like this, or has anyone made something like
this?
If not, who can I bribe to write one? Cash, or Equipment is available.
