Re: The real question...

War driving is basically going around and sending out a signal requesting a response from any and all access points that can hear you. You are thus not connecting, but merely requesting a single transmission of data. To connect to the network, you must first get this information, then change to the same channel, address the access point by name, and request to connect.

Every 802.11a/b/g client card is constantly sending out the request, which, by the way, is called a beacon packet. Therefore, we would all be breaking the law without even knowing it, right?

And no, I meant that war driving != connecting to networks, as it is not.
