Favorite Wi-Fi finder

[Geoff]

Since i just got a laptop, im looking for some good sites where i can find free Wi-Fi hotspots. I googled for it but only 1 or 2 were any good, so im jsut wondering what your favorite ones are.

I just installed networkstumbler, havent had much time to play around with it yet, but does can it see networks that have their SSID keys hidden? and how often does it search for new networks?

you can set it to search at different rates

it shows you the AP it detects, if it is encrypted, the name, the channel, the SNR....it's pretty self explainitory....just go play with it
