Apart from, 1) reducing my area of coverage and 2) MAC addressing the AP, is there any hardware/software available that can scan/monitor if there are local 802.11b signals?

I'm using a Senao 2511 CD+ card with a T-DSL 130 AP.

Appreciate any help...
Yes there is. When you say local 802.11b signals what exactly are you looking for? If you want to watch for unauthorized access on your AP try AirSnare (assuming you are using windows). If someone is spoofing their MAC you will have to play with the authorized list accordingly. How often do you change your WEP (64 or 128)?
