Here's my current setup if anyone's curious:

- Compaq 1500c notebook (not small and not light but durable, and runs OpenBSD/Linux/Win9x)

- Orinoco Silver + Lucent Range Extender antenna

- Cisco Aironet 350 (100mw tx)

- Cisco diversity antenna (dual RP-TNC jacks, with dual cables that go to the two connectors on the Cisco card)

- Cisco mini antenna (for stealth usage)

What I'd really love to get ahold of is a Toshiba Libretto or similar - something tiny, with PCMCIA slots. These machines are still way too expensive though (even the P75 goes for alot of $$ on Ebay!)

By the way, since I last posted, I've found several LARGE companies with wide open WLANs around North Toronto. A few even happily give out a DHCP address on the corporate LAN, with no packet filter or anything in front of it. As a security professional, this just makes me sad. I'm tempted to contact the CEO/Network Admins anonymously and give them this info.
