the gps unit is a garmin III+.

using lucent orinoco w/lan card, which has a 'pigtail' plug for an external antenna. not many prism2 chipset cards offer external antenna connectors.

use and recommend netstumbler for W2K, THC wardrive for Linux.

The only way that the 'IT community' will learn is by some harsh lessons. It's like anything - you put a door on your house with no lock until some scum comes in and nicks your TV. Then you fit a lock to keep theiving scum out. On the w/lan front though, most IT people have the 'it'll never happen to me' mentality so they bung in an AP and leave it with defaults, just to have a play. Anyway, months later, a new toy comes to market and the old AP is forgotten about, but still connected. Any open AP's I find, I always make a note of the company, so I wont make the mistake of dealing with them. After all if they dont give a toss about IT network security, what are they gonna be like with customer data? oh and most of the prismII cards 'have' the facility to attach an external antenna. Just lever open the plastic case round the antenna. I did read in the netstumbler forum of one at http://www.uhf-satcom.com/wl100.jpg have fun stumbling!! mutt_number_4 at hotmail.

This diary entry explains a bit more on this, including a warpeddlaz disclaimer explaining that we scan only at the 802.11b level, with no IP network examination, or transmission.
