Oh and on the note of legality, it is illegal to intentionally access and utilize any network that you don't have permission to use. You can do the smart thing and mask your MAC address, and not be too obvious about it and they would never know or be able to track you. The main thing is that since the towers were attacked on 911, hacking itself has been upgraded to a terroristic crime by the Feds. Not a good thing to be caught doing. Of course my Cisco card tells everyone it is 3com when I am exploring for just that reason. One last note, just identifying open networks is not illegal since it is a passive activity and the packets are being broadcast to the public as well, it is what you do with the network that can get you nailed.
