Is that what MacStumbler does as well? I understand the point about
the wireless database (although they better be kept updated,
otherwise you will plan to have coffee without Internet access), but
that aside, I was referring to mostly to the widgets and such... I
just simply don't see the use in having/installing them.
But that's me.

That's weird.
I am wondering what is the use of these little programs? Airport
lists all available wireless connection in the drop down menu.
Isn't that enough? Or is it something more than macstumbler and
others offer that the airport drop down menu list doesn't?
If you're not close enough to "see" it with your airport, you won't
know it's there now, will you? Jiwire is basically a database of
hot spots nationwide. Using it I can plan where I want to go to
coffee next week in San Jose or where I want to stay for the night.
That's not something I can really do simply by looking at the
wireless AP's the card is currently seeing.
