First post!

Anyway, after being out of the game for a good year or two, I started piecing together a setup for wardriving.

The previous setup I had was just an old Thinkpad 770ED running Windows XP with some Belkin 802.11b card and an old Magellan GPS connected with a serial cable.

This time around things have gotten a little fancier.
  • Motorola MW-520 Mobile Workstation
  • Dual Gold Orinocos
  • NETGEAR 9dbi Omni
  • NETGEAR 14dbi Panel
The Motorola is a 500mHz P3 with 256mb of RAM, 20gb hard drive and a built-in Trimble GPS unit. It also comes with an ELO based touchscreen running at 800x600 with 32bit color depth. Currently it's running Windows 2000 and I'm running Netstumbler.

The dual Orinocos are nothing special, picked them up cheap ($20 for both) on eBay. They're the Lucent Orinoco variety.

As for the NETGEAR antennas... Those are on a lengthy loan from my workplace. Once I find another antenna solution I will be replacing those.


For those who want to see pics of my rig, here they are in all their glory. ;) If you need to know, the car's a '95 Saturn SC1.

Swap the Orinocos for Senao NC-2511s if you want a fairly significant upgrade.
