Last Modified: Saturday Dec 14, 2002AirFart: Who dealt it?-=-=-=-What is AirFart?AirFart is a wireless tool created to detect wireless devices, calculate their signal strengths, and present them to the user in an easy-to-understand fashion. It is written in C/C++ with a GTK front end. Airfart supports all wireless network cards supported by the linux-wlan-ng Prism2 driver that provide hardware signal strength information in the "raw signal" format (ssi_type 3). Airfart implements a modular n-tier architecture with the data collection at the bottom tier and a graphical user interface at the top.-=-=-=-Release notes:---Version .2.1   10 March 2003Evan McNabbThe preferences menu for changing the device name does not currently work.---Version .2     7 March 2003Dave SmithFor Prism3 chipset devives, the linux-wlan-ng drivers presents their signal strengths incorrectly. If you are using one of these devices(like the Linksys WPC11 v3.0), then your signal strengths will showup smaller in the Airfart display than they really are. Multiply theAirfart values by about 2.5 to get the real values. Ie, 20% is really50%.
