P.S. There's an AP with a linksys SSID located in the sea to the west of Malta. Not sure what that's about.

Either someone's been out warboating, their GPS has problems, or someone just made it up.

Heh. My inverter failed too. 8 hours of usage. No bad smoke smell. Just blew three fuses. Upon replacement of those three fuses, and replugging in of the inverter, it beeped continuously. I was going to buy another one about a year ago, but put the cash down instead for a GPS (USGlobalSat BU-353). I...

Update: We do have a kind-of working passive mode for Atheros cards in Intel macs. It's in the latest dev builds of KisMac. You don't need to build from source any more - there's binaries posted at http://trac.kismac.de/ And as USGLSL didn't clearly point out - Prolific have released a universal dri...

... now r149 in the svn, but no binary build (as i write this). It adds applescript ability for export to kml.

if you wardrive, be sure to use Kismet, because it doesn't transmit at all!

Yeah, especially if you have a powerful amplifier and big antenna.

Passive mode is better anyway - picks up hidden SSIDs too, and works at a longer range.

I use a USGlobalSat BU-353 - works great with KisMac.

it's not Windows, it is Linux. there is no brief description on how to use Linux.

Why do you have a Windows skin on it then? Ewww...

Well, I use KisMac on my PowerBook, so I guess I don't notice anything - passive mode. Then again, AirPort Extreme is only ~35mw... so I guess it's not much.

Check out trac.kismac.de for the kismac stuff.
R75 is not the latest development version (any more)... we are sitting on r116 as I write this.

Kismac is now a bit MORE universal, more than it was before. Try it now. So far: Passive scanning on the internal wireless of the MacBook and Intel Mac Mini... not working. Uses a strange Atheros card, never seen before. Passive scanning on Intel iMac - uses old Broadcom chipset, works fine. Active ...
