As seen elsewhere :-)

First, the software is pretty awesome. It's tiny and packed with features - wow! The amount of information it picks up on even weak or momentary contacts is pretty impressive, you've done a great job with this puppy. I'll be using it to audit a large facility that's not SUPPOSED to have wireless but may indeed turn out to have some rogue WAPs. If this goes through I will try to get my company to send you some cash, it's the least they could do...

Having said that, some requests:

Some form of autosave. I've lost quite a bit of data driving around due to laptop problems and some way to save either after each new contact or on a periodic basis would be awesome. Both would be better if we could toggle between them.

Some way to see total number of contacts. Either at the bottom or in a column, bottom would be best to save real estate.

I see that you post last time seen but it's not clear if the date is also put in the log. If not could we have that? Maybe not even visible but when I sort on the time column I'd like to be sure I'm really seeing "new sightings" and not some from the day before mixed in. This may already be done but not clear to me. I've not looked in the log for the raw time data to double check so this may be a stupid request. *Hrm it does seem to see the date and sort on it. Cool!

Some sites throw me an IP as soon as I hit them - could you flag those sites? Some sites never get strong enough to make a full connection but show up in the log, anyway to highlight the full connections with or without an IP? Just knowing who's thrown an IP would be a giant step forward.

We've got fonts, any way to change background colors? I might have missed this in there somewhere so excuse me if this is a request made in ignorance.

Netstumbler appears to announce itself to each network. I'm not sure if this was some sort of CYA feature or needed in order to pull the data you do - I've seen it in packet captures. Generally I'd say no one notices but it would be nice if we could turn this off. I fully understand if this is a no-go. Alternately for those of us with WAPs it would be nice to have an application that would sense these "anouncements" for us.

*New additional request - Occasionally my serial port locks up and the GPS coordinates freeze. This puts crap data into the log. A means of deleting networks from the would be nice to have. I can export and edit the data of course but I can't exactly import it back in either. I just don't want to add bad data to the database is all.

Some help in triangulating sources. IMO this is a big job and something I know you'd mentioned being interested in already but I thought I'd throw it out. It sounds like lot's of people are working on post process software so I'm not sure this is something to ask you for and I'm not sure this is a big deal feature-wise. It would just be really neat to see this work is all :-) Hrm, maybe two cards and antenna to do a DF in a single driveby? Sort of like the way LoJak works. Not something I'd imagine many would use though..

Hrm, those are all the features I can think of. You seem to have covered most everything already I think. Some of what's above ought to be easy to incorporate, some of it will probably be a giant PITA.

Additional cards would be nice of course, I bought a Sony VAIO card after being told it was a Lucent clone. Yeah, same casing but no go :-( I might be willing to lend it for testing though if needed, contact me offline. I've got a DLink as well but I believe you know about those already - no external antenna connection that I can see either. The Lucent rox!

Lastly, an ignorant question, is there a mailing list out there for folks interested in this kind of thing? I may have missed it. Guess I'll be frequenting the forums a good bit otherwise. :-)
