First time poster. I registered about a month ago, and learned alot from this site. Big thanks to all the pros on here. Good FAQ, and you can find anything by searching. It's all been covered.
My setups are:
IPAQ 3675 with sleeve and Orinoco gold running Ministumbler. Had some problems with Pocketwarrior.
Home - Micron 266 96 RAM with Orinoco gold card running Netstumbler
Work - Dell Latitude 1.6 512 RAM with again the coveted gold card.
I don't have an external antennae or GPS yet. A Jeep with no doors or top causes very little interference.
I also have the Knoppix cd, so I can run Kismet. I know some might think that's cheating, but it works. I've used to to look for rogue APs in some of our hospitals.
Stumbling from home to work finds about 70 wireless devices with Mini or Netstumbler. Kismet finds about 110. Eighty percent of these are open.
Again, thanks to all for contributing to this site. I didn't have to ask a single noobie question. YET.
