Here are some thoughts that I had for the program--

Actually useful ideas:

1) "Audit mode" wich would allow for continuous logging/association of GPS coordinates and AP signal strength. I can see this as being a very legit tool for doing wireless auditing for companies - how far is their signal leaking out of the building? Does it leak into the street just a few feet, or does it leak all the way out to the Starbucks on the opposite corner? That way, you can just walk around the perimiter of a building to get the data (instead of sort of manually doing it now). Maybe even a continuious beeper in "audit mode" (like the beeping on a DSS dish tuning screen) so that you can hear the signal getting weaker or stronger as you walk around.

For-fun ideas:

1) Text-to-speech output of new APs found. Could be fun to drive along and hear the laptop say "New Lucent AP found, transmitting on channel 6 with no encryption"

That's about it for the moment. I'm sure I'll think of more later.
