I'm simply concerned that there may be driver issues (the cards won't have been designed with the Pocket PC O/S in mind will they?) and the fact that I've only ever seen PDAs running 802.11b based cards (so will a 802.11g card work?).
It depends on whether the maker has released PPC/CE/2002/2003 drivers. Some have, some haven't. The popular B cards (ORiNOCO and Linksys v1, v2, v3) do have drivers and will detect G networks. You just cannot use the G speeds, but since you're just hunting rogues that shouldn't be an issue.
