We've been deploying a handful of hotspots, but we're about to begin rolling out ubiquitous b/g coverage (with a reserved for hotspots with special needs). To support this, we want to start equipping our techs with wireless PDAs with which to quickly and easily determine the status of wireless service at their location.
I've been using Kismet on a Sharp Zaurus, but its chipset support so far limits me to b only, and both the Zaurus 5500/5600 models and the LinkSys WCF12 have been superseded, so I don't think that's the right direction. I've been happy with the level of detail that NetStumbler shows, but a laptop is more device than we really want to require. So: I'm looking for recommendations of a PDA/wireless/software combo that will provide about the same level of detail as NetStumbler for at least b/g, and preferably also a. Are you using something like this?
