You might wanna consider this.. if she suspects that you have a wifi card and were using her wifi, then she might have the smarts to detect YOU, possibly get the MAC of the card and ban it....

I use AirSnare on my windows network and it reports to me all MAC address's on my network and can even serve up a custom message to any ROGUE mac telling them to "GO AWAY" . You can even have a "trusted/approved" list of macs that you can monitor. Also.. depending on your broadband wifi router, you can lock out MAC's as in the case of my 614+ from Dlink. Using Firmware 2.20 I can set filters to allow ONLY the MAC's I have set in it..so even if you were to detect my wifi (which the SSID Broadcast is OFF, using 256 bit WEP keys, static DHCP with no spare IP's in the DHCP pool) and program in an IP, you would still not get on.

Does this sound paranoid? maybe.. but look at it this way.. ANY wardriving ns or kismet file you want to look at will reveal that on average 60-70 percent of wifi out there is not locked...
