Airstreamer, there is no reason to get on like that.

Most people get the laptop first, and then the GPS. A GPS mouse without a laptop is pretty useless.
I cant seem to understand how wardrivers are able to use a GPS with an antenna to pin-point the location of the AP. I thought if I hooked the USB GPS and the USB WiFi with the YAGI connected while using NetStumbler/Kismet I could do the same.
I thought it was as basic as installing the hardware and use programs that give you access to both letting the YAGI to be used as a scanner to calculate how far away the AP is from my co-ordinates shown by my GPS, then add the distance from the AP to the YAGI via the GPS to show me the results within NetStumbler/Kismet.
So your saying I cant do this if I am in my house, even with the GPS attached to the outside of my house wall [2nd floor]?

I don't really need a Time server [daytime], but with PPS are you referring to Packets Per Second? If so, can I configure this within a Windows console? I've got BackTrack aswell if need be.
Thanks for everyone's feedback, Im baffled by this.
