I'm to cheap to own one, but have a couple friends that have done what
you're talking about.  It works great.  You end up with a handheld
device that runs kismet, nmap, and a myriad of other tools you'd never
expect to be portal.

and http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=linux+ipaq
for more information.

I would recommend against the zaurus, though.  The hardware is nice. 
Battery life wasn't that great.  The port of linux that they used
needs a lot of work to be usable.
