Hey I went through the search to find basic equipment for wardriving and didnt find anything. My friend and I want to start and just where wondering what where the minimal requirments needed for a laptop to wardrive and what would be some good starting equipment to get. I have a link to the Fleeman Anderson & Bird site and have been going through there stuff. Thanks.
