Wow!

My first time trying this, I headed home from work with my laptop and a 3Com XJack card stumbling away. No extra/external antenna!!!

I got 3 different MACs before I even got out of the parking lot! All with WEP enabled (There's a change based on what i have read around here!)

By the time I got home, 15 minutes later I had stumbled on 10 more, 7 of them without WEP.

One apartment complex scored me 4 different APs, just driving by!!

My wife thinks I'm a geek, ok, she knew I was a geek, I'm just not doing anything to change her mind. This is cool!

I bought the 3Com card as part of a proof of concept project for my boss, I guess I need to convince him that the Orinoco is the way to go for production!!! Why spend my own money when the company will pay for something I can play with!
