I got one of these for x-mas (I have a wonderful
wife!) and I have to say I go nowhere without it!
I carry around my newt with a wireless card and when I
get to a place where I am sitting, I find a wireless
network with my Canary Wireless hotspotter, put in the
SSID in my Newt and I have instant access. It's also
helpful when determining interference. I found that
the hotspotter identified another network with the
default name of a friend's AP on the same channel.
(for some reason, Netstumbler was having a difficult
seperating my friend's network from the other rogue
network...)
Plus, there is the pure geek factor that needs to be
addressed. I showed my IT guy here at work and his jaw
dropped as he immediatly set plans to get one of his
own.
