[Kroma Pierre <kroma () syss de>]

perhaps you can try the following tools:

win:
- netstumbler:  www.netstumbler.com     (Orinoco - chipset)
- apsniff:      http://www.bretmounet.com/ApSniff/      (prism2)

linux:
- kismet:       http://www.kismetwireless.net/  (prism2, cisco)
- wellenreiter: http://www.remote-exploit.org/  (prism2, cisco)

Best regards,

Pierre
