[wplug] Wireless Site Survey

[Richard Farina]

That wifi card is a winner, but let me ask this: Why use a super card to 
do a wifi site survey when all the users have crappy cards?

The ubiquiti is more than 10x as sensitive as the 802.11 spec requires, 
as such it will get good signal in a place where your standard laptop 
will not... does that really make sense for a site survey?

I'd be thinking more like a linksys wpc55ag; standard issue best buy 
card, cheap and does a/b/g.

just my 0.02
