I have not seen that particular device but eCost sells the WIFI Finder
from Kensington for $18.99. It detects 802.11b and 802.11g .
http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=241768
or
http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/accessories/6247/ (costs more but I
don't think they charge a $5-6 "handling fee").

OK, so there has been a lot of chatter about the WFS-1 WIFI detector from
SmartID ( http://www.smartid.com.sg/prod01.htm ); it was even the focus of
a SecurityFocus article ( http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1727 ).
This little gadget seems perfect for sweeping buildings for wireless
network access, which has applications both in general security and in
penetration testing. The only problem is that nobody seems to sell the
device. Has anybody had any luck finding one somewhere? The only place I
have found it is on directron.com, but it is back ordered and the price is
seriously inflated.

Thanks,
