What exactly do you mean by "see"? Out where?

Methinks he wants to be able to do a wireless site survey using a PC whose
only network hardware is a wired connection to a wireless router.

If so, DD-WRT is one answer, Kismet another.

First, try disconnecting the cable. Generally there is preference given to
the wired connection. If it is not available, then the pc uses wireless.
If that fails, try disconnecting and disabling the wired network card.
If you post the results of those steps, the solution may be quite easy to
find. Also, post the results of what wireless networks your pc can 'see'.
You've got it, Mike. I didn't know the 'correct' terminology. I'll have a
look for DD-WRT and Kismet. I'll get back to this forum if they don't lead
me to a suitable solution. Thanks John.
Regards
Roy
