[Wirelessdriver-support] "stumbling" with wirelessdriver... any changes?

[Brian W <br...@jo...>]

Hey folks,

Last year I tried out a couple of apps like iStumbler and KisMAC to 
monitor available networks but had very-less-than-perfect results 
(kernel panics, system freezes, etc) when used in conjunction with 
the WirelessDriver.

Has anyone tried any of these apps more recently (both iStumbler & 
KisMAC were updated this month)? Any sort of better results?

I'm going to be travelling soon and I'd like to have a better shot at 
finding open networks in cafes and hotels. Last year I had the good 
fortune to travel with somebody with an iBook & a "normal" AirPort 
card, so he was able to find the networks for me with ease. Next time 
around I might not be so lucky.

Thanks in advance,
brian
