I've followed Renderman's guides for setting up the Kismet Drone on the WRT54G (I have V3) and Kismet on Windows. Having to head back to work earlier tonight for a short meeting, I set up everything in the Jeep for my first test run.

First, a basic overview of the route. It's about a 1.5 mile drive that takes 4-5 minutes. NS generally gives me about 150 APs (ORiNOCO Gold Classic) while Kismet generally finds about 270 (ORiNOCO Gold Classic) to 280+ (Proxim 8470-WD) APs, all with the 5.5 dbi omni from FAB.

With the WRT54G sitting on the dash in front of the passenger seat (and the windows down, which probably had some effect), I captured 268 APs running Kismet on Windows while connected to the drone on the WRT54G. I had not previously seen any comparison of data so I thought these results were interesting enough to post them.

The results to me are almost anti-climactic as I knew everything was working and it worked exactly as I expected. The test for me was 100% successful.

I've already compiled gpsd with the patch to work under cygwin, but I wasn't sure how to get gpsd running so I haven't tried that out yet. That will be my next step and will complete the wardriving setup for now.

I also plan on trying a few different tests, such as running this setup concurrently with NS to better compare results.

Many thanks to Renderman for his awesome work in putting together the how-to's, and to Dutch for lending support whenever I have asked.
