Hi chaps,




Can anyone recommend a fairly easy to use wifi discovery tool for ubuntu 10?
needs to be able to support a range of nics and just really show what wifi
networks are running on what channel, rough signal strength etc at least.

I've used netstumbler on Windows before which is ideal,
except for needing windows


*


Thanks




Olly

It's in the repo and you need to tweak a little config file in
/etc/kismet/kismet.conf to make it work by specifying the source, but
once done, it works very nicely. I've run it in the past on a laptop
in the car as I drove to work. Spotted insane numbers of access
points.

Cheers,
Al.

I use and like very much WiFiRadar which is in the repositories. Like
Kubuntu, it just works!
