Wow, this is awesome. I turned on my DS and put this into wardriving mode, and left it on in my pocket while I was at school and walking home. By the time I got home, it listed almost 115 netrworks.

Its very sensitive. I can see around 5 networks right now, and my laptop only sees 1.

At home, I can see my neighbor's router, whereas regular laptops cant.

Here in the UK, a sort of circular drive around the city of Bath got me exactly 200. rad

Not sure about the signal detection though, some networks I was miles from at the start of my trip got stuck at 7% signal when there blatantly should have been none

Very cool!

I’ve fixed the WEP support in the Wifi driver so that it can authenticate with APs that use Shared Key authentication.

Usage:
iwconfig nds channel <N> essid <ESSID> key <wepkey>

Thanks go to sgstair and the ethereal dev team.

Update: It looks like only 64bit WEP is working.

Update 2: 128bit WEP in the next build.

Pepsiman added WEP 64bit support to his DS Linux project!

i hope sgstair releases the new wifi lib test soon
and after this release WEP 128 bit support.
YAY i love u sgstair!

Yes, thats cool, I have tested it, it worked the first time for me (the original lib didnt even work for me, when i disabled WEP).
And as an addition: WEP 128 works now, too (as of 20.02.2006). There was an error in the documentation.
I hope, pepsiman helps you to add these changes into the original library, so I can continue developing with your lib

Is there any guide to how to know what is what? Primarily what I want to know is how to see which connections are open (that i can connect to) from the wardriving menu. I would approciate any help.
