Also kismet doesn't like it b/c it has no native linux driver (why the f*** did I buy it?) netstumbler is a console app and I don't type well while driving. kismet is kind of out-of-date anyway. Geez, all we are talking about is a simple UI showing wifi hotspots and a clickable UI for trying the network connect, right?

My software does WiFi scans no problem, announces and displays hotspots, and allows you to pick whichever one you want. I've connected to several open hotspots throughout Ottawa already, no problems, but I'm using a PCMCIA card not a USB2 dongle. I'm not using netstumbler either but rather my own code that harnesses iwlist.
