I may have the opportunity to purchase a used iBook with an Airport card (aka 802.11b). Does anyone know if OS X/Airport cards are reasonably good for legit (aka Legally Authorized) wardriving/pen testing?
Thanks!

They are great. There is an app called Kismac ( http://kismac.binaervarianz.de/ ) that puts the WiFi chipset into RF mon mode so you can find cloaked SSIDs and Kismac can also log to a libpcap file for later viewing in Ethereal or other apps (grat if you want to sniff more then one WAP in the area).
Sweet! Thanks for the link, that software package looks damn cool!
No problem. I'm not much of a Mac guy, but Kismac impressed me. The features of Kismet with the easy of install of Netstumber.
