I'd suggest you start playing with "Network Stumbler", it's very and
quite usefull.

Then comes the problem, there are several Linux tools, you can find
some here
http://is-it-true.org/pt/ptips23.shtml
the problem is that it's not quite straight forward to use wirelss NIC
cards in linux due to the lack of some vendors/chipsets drivers, and
some of those tools are written specifically for certain drivers.

Unless you've got a "great" budget, I'd suggest you start researching
those tools. Find out the ones that would help you, and then see the
cards that can help you and go buy it/them.

some of those chipsets; Artheos, Prism, orinico, aironet, ...
