Wireless hardware is fairly isotropic (radiates in all directions uniformly), so you will need to "capture" part of the signal from the AP you are looking for more accurately. This is the function of the directional antenna. Such an antenna coupled with software such as netstumbler (and more incisive tools such as airsnort, aircap and kismet) will get you there. -- Peter van Houten > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark A.
