Wireless Network Diagnostics Tool

Do you need to verify your wireless network ?  Maybe you have some other networks that might be causing intereference with your home/corporate wifi network ?

A good tool is Network Stumbler 0.40 , that allows you to detect Wireless Local Area Networks  and reports a lot of useful details to understand your environment.

As suggested by NetSumbler , there are many examples why use this tool in a corporate enviroment :

Wireless LAN Auditing
A corporate network administrator needs assurance that the wired LAN is not being exposed to unauthorized users. This can often happen when users set up their own wireless LANs for convenience. Such wireless LANs often have little or no security, which poses a risk to the entire LAN. The network administrator can use NetStumbler to detect the presence of these "rogue" wireless LANs.

Wireless LAN Coverage Verification
The owner of a wireless LAN can use NetStumbler to verify that an area is well covered by a good quality signal. NetStumbler can also be used to see how far the coverage area extends beyond its intended boundary.

Antenna positioning
When setting up an antenna, NetStumbler can be used to assist with optimal antenna position and aim.
