I finally got around to doing some wardriving with my T40 Thinkpad 
over the last week.  It uses the Atheros a/b chipset, and I was 
kind of surprised to find so few 802.11a hotspots.  Out of the six 
hundred or so APs I spotted while riding CalTrain and driving 101 between
Santa Clara and San Francisco, I think I saw only two 802.11a APs.

What's the deal?  Is 802.11a really that underutilized?  Or is the
range too short for me to easily detect while travelling?  Or is
it just that the bleeding edge Kismet I was running has some
sort of bug?

Cheers,

Kevin
