[olug] WiFi site survey?

[Jason N]

I had one done a few years ago... They came in with a WAP on a stick, then took a laptop and took readings from different points.  Would move the WAP and take more readings... 

once they had all of their data, they took it back to their office and came back with a suggestion.

I'd give you their names, but I no longer recommend them since they can't seem to be bothered to respond to e-mails or phone calls.

[Off and On Topic for Linux]

A friend of mine called asking about having a WiFi site survey done for a
client of his (here in Omaha).

Question 1: [off topic] Anyone have a suggestion or two for people he can
contact to do this?

Question 2: [on topic] Is there a Linux package that would allow someone to
do this themselves?

I'd guess this program would be AutoCAD-like in that you would draw out a
building, describe the walls (cement, glass-windows, steel/wood studs,
drywall thicknesses, etc), and it would estimate the signal strengths on the
map.
