Download and install "ethereal" network sniffer, which should/will also include winpcap in the package. Check the ethereal knowledge base pages to confirm which drivers and/or wifi cards you'll need to be able to sniff the lower level 802.11 stuff, because there are some restrictions and gotchas. Also download and install netstumbler, a good tool just to see what wireless networks are out there.
