Re: [Thinkpad] WiFi access point scanning utilities for IBM internal 802.11 a/b/g card

Stuart,

The driver and IBM Access Connections both include a basic scanner, but it
only lists networks - not individual access points, channels in use, S/N
ratio, etc.

I'm going to give Netstumbler a shot - several people have recommended it.

Thanks,
Andy
