X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 02 Sep 2003 01:32:30 -0000 What is out there in a straightforward GUI application for monitoring whatever Wi-Fi signals are out there? I've been fine with wicontrol for configuring my home network, but now I'd like to get something for looking around to see what might be in the air wherever I happen to be. I've glanced at the bsd-airtools package, but that seems intended more for serious hacking than for finding networks to use. I'm thinking of something more like the Windows app Boingo (is that right?), which shows whatever wireless networks are in range, along with their names, security levels, etc. Thanks. Jesse Sheidlower
