You might want to re-think the 100 yards statement, 802.11b has a theoretical limit of 21 miles. I know of wireless hotspots that can be reached from almost a 1/4 mile away without any external antennas on the unit. Add a decent directional antenna to the unit and a clear line of sight and your easily talking hundreds of yards.
Granted most wardrivers are going to be close to your perimeter, that will not always be the case. Tim Donahue wrote: > > We are talking about 2 completely unrelated technologies here.
