Might want to check Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardriving
"Wardriving shares similarities to Wardialing in name only.
Wardrivers do not engage in malicious activity. The average wardriver is
typically only out to log and collect information from the Access Points
(APs) they find while driving."
There's also an Ethical Considerations section discusses most of
the things I seem to be not so good at explaining.
