Notwithstanding DSTM,Wardriving, as I understand it, is an adaptation of the term "wardialing" (http://63.251.138.38/atstake/acrobat/wardialing_brief.pdf) the practice of modem-directed range or sequential dialing to discover computer access numbers.
Otherwise, the etymology and origin of "wardriving" is unknown to me.
