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.
