COSTEAU  Unfortunately, as of version 0.75b, there's still no universal or Intel version of MacStumbler, so Rosetta is required. I want to do off with legacy PPC software, and am thus reluctant to installing Rosetta.

ANCIPITAL  This is a handy little program. A simple, no-frills WLAN scanner with a clean and elegant layout.

If all you need is a way to reliably detect wireless networks, and don't need a

scad of WEP/WPA attacks, this is ideal.

It was exactly what I was looking for- something which worked with the onboard wireless interface of my little g4 powerbook, and let me footprint the two wireless networks on this part of the site. It allowed me to establish which parts of my office were actually within reach; it's right on the edge.

Within five minutes, I had established which parts of which desks were "magic", and likely to yield useful signal strength.

Setup is easy and painless, the results are easy to read. I was connected to the edge of a wireless network within five minutes, what more could I ask for?

A very elegant little program, thanks for this!

CABBAGEWATER  I'd stick with 0.6b if you have it--this version doesn't seem to let you see the MAC address of the WAP, which is what I need.

OMNIUS  And if for some reason you have morals.............macstubler can be used to test your own signal strength or security weaknesses

SMAUG  Actually MacStumbler 0.75b works just fine with my BUFFALO G54 PCMCIA card (it uses the same Broadcom chip set that Apple uses) despite the fact the author says it won't work with PCMCIA cards.
