  Indentifying Wireless connectors
After ordering a couple of different wireless connectors for my helical waveguide antenna project and not getting the right ones, I decided to get smart and use a guide located on the internet. The clip below highlights the type of connectors I have on my Linksys WRT54G (v1.1) wireless router.

  Wigle: It's for finding hotspots
So, if everyone's out there collecting all of this wardriving data, they have to be sharing it somewhere, where?
One of the sites that supports users to upload their netstumbler (and other sniffing tools) logs to is Wigle. Wigle then takes that data and compares it to their existing data, using it to correct existing hotspots and place new ones onto the map. You can perform searches by SSID, address, state, metro, etc.

  Converting Stumbler data into KML
In response to Kyle's post about converting kismet data into KML's for the Linux crowd, I thought I'd post up information for the windows/netstumbler crowd. Simpler then writing a conversion script, as is with the case of the kismet transfer, software called Earth Stumbler exists for transferring stumbler logs very easily.
