i have yet to come across any others out here, but i figure it worth a shot.

i live in racine, and i know there are stumblers in the milwaukee area, i would like to know if anyone in the racine county area (or kenosha etc.) that stumbles? or even up north around park falls since i visit up there once in a while.

i have 2 known signal points so far, but my equipment is very limited, as is my budget, however 1 i found myself, the other i found online, and can find no trace of it anywhere.

i live in the area of state st. and spring st. if anyone is interested, i do have a car, but my gf isn't keen on the idea of wardriving with me.

equipment, as i mentioned, is severely bare, only a toshiba e-740, which mini stumbler does not work with, and the built in wifi applet used (constanty hitting rescan while driving is a tad dangerous lol) however i fear the range from within the car is severely limited to maybe 100 feet at most, judging from the signal i found, it might even be down to 30 feet from within the car, and it got stronger when i got out, but still only MAYBE 80 feet.

in other equipment i have a few old laptops around, a couple of 486 dx 2 75 mhz laptops and a pentium 120 system with a dead HDD cable, however i have a version of linux running on it now from the floppy which runs in ramdisk, however my knowledge of linux is severly limited. Each system listed has 2 available pcmcia slots and the usual assortment of ports on the back, the P 120 has a cdrom, the ohters do not.

i do not have any wifi cards for these systems, if anyone has one they would like to part with for semi cheap (50 bucks maybe?) so that i can attempt to stumble with my win 95 laptop that would be greatly appreciated, preferably one that works with netstumbler -=P

however, if you would rather i loan it to you, i can also arrange that since its no big loss to me, the case is mostly destroyed by my girlfriend, however i going to change it to another case, i thought about possibly using one of those Pelican cases and just slapping in the components into it and attaching the screen to the upper lid section, kind of a heavy duty laptop case -=P
