Hello,

I just uploaded a video from my test drive with the kismet plugin to
youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On9O8d7AOZA

Green icons:  No encryption
Orange icons: WEB encryption
Red icons:    WPA + others encryption

I really like to drive around with my software and see all this little
nice WLAN icons on the map. :-)

This is the only WLAN feature in my application. But for the future it
would be possible to automatically connect to WLAN nodes. But that's
not Mapnik related...

regards
Andreas
