You basically install it on your laptop or pocket pc and then walk around looking for wireless signals and the closer you get to one the stronger the signal comes across. I think that you do need a wireless card with a Hermes chip set. An Orinoco card worked fine for me, and there are a few other name brand cards that work as well.

Have any of you all had experience in tracking down unauthorized wireless routers on an ethernet? I am looking for general procedures. The question is inspired by a real-life situation, of course, but I would like to learn good practices for future problems. Typically, the device acquires an IP address by DHCP, but the address is not necessarily easily tracked down. Besides, I am most interested in discovering the physical location of the device and acquiring sufficient access to it as to be able to test its resistance to a 2,500 PSI metalsmith's clamp. Any ideas? Many thanks.
