Hi there,

I plan to use some PC under linux as -network & security probes-.
These PCs will have various network & security software. They will also have
a 802.1b/g NIC. Is there any software under linux that could detect wifi
networks and automatically store the information somewhere? Ideally, the
solution should be able to send an email or an snmp trap when a new wifi
network is detected.

Thank you.

Sort of like 'netstumbler' ?

A good place for questions about wifi is alt.internet.wireless
