I do it all the time it works great. You might try getting an antena. I can go 2 blocks. I love it when I find one on a 7M dsl or a good cable modem. Can you say file is downloaded? Probley not as fast as I can get it. It's not the cards MAC add. I would wory about but the computers.
Some one must go to the edge for others to be able to find it. But if you go be sure you can make it back.

Quotemy war driving setup is WinXp with a lucent oronic gold card with a pringels cantena antena (that I made) Here is one link. their are other types using a coffe can or just antena. I like a more directanal one so I know who I am scanning.
I guess you also use netstumbler?
My setup is a Toshiba 1.6gP4 laptop, Linksys 54g card and XP Pro.

QuoteOf corse I use stumbeler and a Magelan GPS. Your problem is you card. I hate linksys cards. They make great AP's but the cards don't have that much power. As for the G. The only real advantage is it goes to 54M insted of 11M. But when you are on a 7M pipe that is as fast as you will go. Also as far as I know lynksys does not make a card with an exturnal antena port.
The linksys card has worked fine for me so far, and as far as the lower costing 54g solutions, it seemed the best way to go. Also, since Linksys is now the consumer brand of Cisco, I was pretty certain that I would be able to connect to Cisco products without issue after the next firmware upgrade.
I needed 11g to get a signal across my entire two flat, 11b just didn't have the mustard unless I purchased a signal booster. I will eventually move to an A+G card once 11g is out of the draft stage.
As far as I know, Linksys doesn't have a card with an antenna port, but I'm sure something could be rigged up. I've had no problems with wardriving, but I have not been as lucky as you. I know on the DZ I am getting signals in places that others with the Cisco card are not.

Not unless you know how to completly spoof your IP addy and all other relevant info.
You could alwase do wardriving and it you are woried about MAC add. I have heard their are programms to spoof that

And yes, you can spoof your MAC addy, but it would be just as easy to purchase a card with cash and only use it for wardriving.
