Randy, perhaps a good combination would be Kismet on an iPaq running Familiar (the handheld Linux distro). With that, you could use your Cisco card. A couple links for you:

Kismet will also run on the Zaurus platform, and you can get OpenZaurus for that hardware here: http://openzaurus.org/oz_website/content/news

I need an inexpensive way to perform site surveys for determining the placement of Access Points. So far, I'm using an old ThinkPad 765L with a WIC and a low power LinkSys WAP11, walking all over, placing the APs, then finally adding the LinkSys signal boosters, which fills in the weak spots. Overall, this works pretty well.
