Cool. There is an actiontech 'wardriving NO Wep' in the mobile home park in
> > which I live. Is that good? What the heck am I talking about



wardriving is a term that is derived from 'war dialing'.
basically war drivers drive around with the wifi/gps enabled laptop or 
pda 'discovering' open access points and security enabled access point 
to 'gather information' about 802.11 networks.

they then keep a log of all of these places and the gps coordinates and 
post them on the web.

you router title Wardriving NO Wep can either mean:

feel free to use this one, i set it up for wardrivers, have fun.

or

hi, owner of this open ap, i am a war driver and changed the name of 
your wifi to send a message to you about wireless security. oh and btw 
put a password on your router infterface.

i suspect it means "Wardrivers Welcome" but since you don't know for 
sure I think you would be breaking the law by using it.

war driving programs:
linux : kismet
wind : netstumber

war driving is fun, but mostly a waste of time.
