Your Opinion is appreciated. However the subject is Germaine since it is a common problem and a common interest to learn how to conduct a site survey, It is educational and certainly enhances the understanding of wireless networks and communication to have the practical ability to establish a instant network. While you may not like this cause, you may someday depend upon the knowlege gained by people like them. Another real potential use for the knowlege gained is in a disaster situation. Earthquake in particular. Theses skills gained may allow someone to communicate critical information in a disaster. I recommend you. Look for "Wardriving" when you get the right equipment to do that, you can designate a few of your participants to scan the area once you know the location. This means getting a card like Orinoco gold, and an (optional)external antenna and simply going to the site and logging the AP's found. Then you map those sites for future use. Another Keyword is "warchalking" this would seem the best approach for your Idea. Use a decent search engine for background look to the list (BAWUG) archives for details. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Young" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2002 5:04 PM Subject: Re: [BAWUG] Stop the War ...
