Driving kit

[Guest]

I got 802.11 wireless card, no antenna. Is the enough to war-drive. It is good for walking but what about driving pretty fast.

I just use a little cheap netgear usb card and it works just fine, i picked up about 100 networks between dayton and cincinnati with it going down then highway.

Mine is not usb it is cardbus.

Will cardbus work with no antenna like you said

I use an HP ZD7000 which has its own built-in card and antenna - no extension antenna capable. I find a good number of sites, many of which while I'm going at highway speeds.

I'm trying to set up a smaller laptop as a driving rig, but NS apparently doesn't like the latest Linksys PCMCIA card.

Anyway, to answer your question, I believe NS has an option you can select that will change its sampling rates based upon your speed - as viewed by the amount of distance between each plot your GPS sends to the computer.

I have been going 100 km/hr (60mph) and picked up sites no problem.

Well, you won't know where the networks are that you're stumbling on. You'll essentially just be collecting a list of names.

And if you don't have a GPS, the program won't know your speed - so it won't search more often if you are going faster. *IF* I understand that part of the operation correctly.

If you mean warchalking, yeah, I've heard of it.

But since the original poster was talking about "driving pretty fast", I would hope they're not going to try to chalk at the same time.

Well, WiGLE's primary score is based on the amount of AP's you found with GPS information. After all it's the Wireless GEOGRAPHICAL Logging Engine, it needs coordinates in order to put your finds on a map.


If you upload your logs you will still be shown as obvserving AP's, and it will show up in your stats as "All networks recorded"

not that "warchalking" was anything more than a joke that a bored reporter thought was some wild exclusive
