since my first post, i've come across quite a few wide-open networks. i use a Lucent Orinoco Silver without the antenna (!)...i drove through Buckhead the other day and my laptop lit up like an x-mas tree. specifically, the Swissotel has quite a few different APs as do a few spots in the Perimeter area. my next project is with AirSnort; i'll post details when i'm done.
