These technology are diferents, they have frequency and spectrum
diferents. If you need monitoring a Wireless Lan - 802.11b, you will
need software like netstambler (www.netstumbler.com), to detect the AP's
and use ethereal (http://www.ethereal.com/) to sniffer the traffic.

802.11 communications and cellular/pager communications are not the same
animal.  You will not be able to pick up pager/cellular traffic with
NetStumbler.  All wireless traffic is not delivered using 802.11.

Greetings!

I have several areas were no wireless communications
are allowed cell phones, wireless PDAs, text pagers,
802.11x, etc.  I frequently monitor these areas using
NetStumbler but that will only catch 802.11x traffic. 
How do I detect the rest of the wireless traffic? 
Thanks!

BS
