Wireless survey

I run linux on my laptop and i have an orinoco card. I want to be able to survey wireless networks to see if an AP is over loaded and or out of range, etc. What is a good linux app that will do this?

Kismet, I guess:

are at least 9 different mutations of the Orinoco card. Most of them work with Kismet directly and no need to use NDISWrapper.

I'm not sure what you mean by "over loaded". Too many users? Too much traffic? Too many errors?

Also, you might wanna grab a cdrom full of ready to run Linux wireless and hacking tools.

's a huge 500MB download, but well worth the time and effort.
