  I'll back up Airmagnet.  As a consultant wireless engineer this is a must for surveys.  You may also consider looking 
at a spectrum analyzer product to get the "whole story" regarding the RF in the area at a given time.  Cisco's spectrum 
expert has been the product of choice for us however they currently don't have a usb adapter.  Airmagnet's spectrum XT 
is usb capable but not my favourite for some bugs and limitations I've run across.  WiSpy seems to be the lost cost 
product that is out there but I've got no experience with it myself.

    We use Airmagnet.  It will do EXACTLY what you are looking for.  We used to use laptop analyzyer and the all in one 
kit.  Such a great product!

    Hi Guys,

    I need to get one or more commercial wireless site survey kits (Ideally usable on existing MacBook Pro's or Windows 
Laptops)

    I have a few dollars to spend and am wanting to see if anyone out there could recommend a good commercial offering 
or two.

    I need something which is going to stand up to some punishment and last for quite a few site surveys,  across a 
number of office buildings.

    Ideally the Product should be able to map the location and strength of the access points it finds to an operator 
supplied floor plans or an image file.
    Ideally it should be able to find both "active and passively probing" access points.

    I am after something which I can hand over to junior staff to run.

    Ideally the solution would have to be fairly accurate and identify the difference between unencrypted, WEP, WPA and 
WPA2 Networks.
    (If it has the ability to demonstrate WEP or WPA cracking via GPU enabled video cards then that would be an added 
bonus.

    What would you guys recommend?

    Thanks
    Mark
