Kismet is a linux based wireless sniffer coupled with a wireless card & GPS allows you to map out wireless networks in what ever freq 2.4 & 5.8 with signal strength and noise stats (use Atheros based chipset)

Pykismetkml is a pretty cool app to convert your later version Kismet logs generated logs
.gpsfile & .netxml to Google Earth KML file
Waypoints on GE do not pop up the Signal Strength data like this script written for
the older version of Kismet

pykismetkml.py -i inputfile.netxml [-g gpsfile.gpsxml] [-n alternatename] [-o outputfile.kml]

python pykismetkml-2010-02-R1.py -i Kismet-20100308-14-11-15-1.netxml -g Kismet-20100308-14-11-15-1.gpsxml -o test.kml

My favorite wireless card - pricey at R950+
Wireless card: Ubiquiti Superange Cardbus (802.11a/b/g with MMCX connectors) for external antennas, it comes with a small dipole antenna

Great tool once you have done your wireless scan to see how far your WUG coverage extends
