[Tfug] Urgent: need to ID some Network Manager icons - STAT!

[Ian McEwen]

Sorry for top-post, but second the suggestion of walking around, and
*if* you have a GPS you can hook up with gpsd and such, kismet knows how
to triangulate based on where you are at a given time of beacon + the
strength of signal. It's what's usually used for wardriving + linux.

I don't know that it's relevant, but let me point out that at least one
of the the HPC networks seems to support only 802.11b (up to 11 Mb/s);
may be older hardware.

They are definitely ad-hoc networks, also, but it's hard to know what's
actually up, or if they're actually being used.

If you can connect (both technically and legally, I don't know the
specifics of course) nmap might also be able to get an OS fingerprint.

If you can, you might also get something to dump wireless data, in case
later on it proves useful to be able to do some forensics on it. I'm not
intimately familiar with the tools for this though. Others may have good
suggestions.
