Hi Paul, 

I've not had any luck with ministumbler on WM6.

I tried ministumber on my Windows Mobile 6-based AT&T Tilt (aka 8925
aka HTC TyTN II).  "Not a valid PocketPC application" was the error.
This got me reading the ministumbler release notes and noticing the
last release was in 2004, and it was probably hopeless. :-) 

However, on this HTC phone that includes an 802.11 radio and
GPS... these toys seem to work very nicely together with WiFiFoFum2 to
make a self contained war walking/driving tool that will log GPS
locations of accesspoints if that adds any value for you:

I've not done a ton with this phone in this respect, however, and
would be interested in what folks have had good luck with in terms of
wireless tools for WM6.   Something with a bit more functionality for
pentesting would be nice to have in a pocketable device.
