Ya, don't know enough about it, but I installed netstumbler one time as a
curiosity, I was amazed I had over forty signal from the condo.
I have 5 to 7 usable signals with my usb adapter.
This is on my boat were I have a business, so I can surf when I don't have
customers.
This has lost a little interest now, the oil and my business is hot on my
mind.
We sell seafood and don't know what the next few months will be like.
I'm looking forward to an exciting time.
Thanks, Mike
