Well, today was a pretty much unsuccessful day. No one in both Circuit City or CompUSA had a clue what wardriving was, so they were of no help. At least I was able to buy an inverter to plug into my truck though, so at least it wasn't a total waste.

I did see 802.11g cards, but I didn't see any 802.11g/b cards. But that got me to thinking, do I still need one even though my laptop is already wireless? Because it looked like to me that they were for converting a laptop that is not wireless into one that is. And I saw some PCIA cards, I believe they were, but no PCMCIA cards. I did notice, however, that a couple of the 802.11g cards did had small, external antenna's on them.

And same with the USB card, even though my laptop has three USB ports, do I still have to get a card? And if so, what specific type of USB card am I looking for? Or are they all the same? I seen some, but I figured I had better go back and check with you guys before making any purchases. The one I most recall was a USB card that had two USB ports on it. So that got me to thinking, I already have USB ports on my laptop. So I thought it best for me to go back and verify with you guys first.

And about using the USB extension cord for an antenna, is that the same thing as the USB extension cable? Because I saw plenty of those an various lengths and with various composites of wire in them, at various prices. But that just seemed too easy, and usually when it seems that way I end up purchasing the wrong item. so again, I figured it best to just hold off on that until I could confirm it.

One more question, if I am using a USB extension cord for an antenna, would I still have to get a 802.11g card, and vise-versa?

I just read up real quick on wardriving.com, and I am leaning more towards, No? I don't need a 802.11g card?

Okay, I am going to shut down in a little while. I'm going to the local watering hole to get me a nice, cold Labatts Blue, I need one
