This was a good/informative article.  Talked about the diffs tween 802.11a
and 802.11b and the various tools tuend for detecting either.  The number
of devices and variations of software that can detect and deal with both
was pretty limited.  Folks auditing for rogue AP's and such might find it
the best starting point for their tools search.  There's more of a need to
noe and monitor both frequencies these days.


Thanks,
