Wireless survey

I run linux on my laptop and i have an orinoco card. I want to be able
to survey wireless networks to see if an AP is over loaded and or out
of range, etc. What is a good linux app that will do this?

Kismet, I guess:

There are at least 9 different mutations of the Orinoco card. Most of
them work with Kismet directly and no need to use NDISWrapper.

I'm not sure what you mean by "over loaded". Too many users? Too
much traffic? Too many errors?

Also, you might wanna grab a cdrom full of ready to run Linux wireless
and hacking tools.

It's a huge 500MB download, but well worth the time and effort.
