iStumbler is a free, open source tool for finding wireless networks
and devices with your AirPort or Bluetooth equipped Macintosh.

Release 87 updates the internal AirPort Plugin to bring back noise
reporting for AirPort Extreme radios and updates the user interface to
display all the radio's properties. This release also introduces the 
Bluetooth plugin which reports on bluetooth devices used by your computer.

iStumbler combines a compact user interface with a real time
graph of signal strength and complete debugging information
such as network type, name and mac address. Visual feedback
of signal strength and encryption allows you to quickly find
open networks, perform site surveys or just have a look at
your wireless neighborhood.

Release 82 updated the user interface for Jaguar and fixes
several bugs. It is the last Jaguar build of iStumbler.

Another popular network discovery tool, [iStumbler], is even simpler than MacStumbler, in that there is really nothing to configured. Just fire it up and it will find all available networks for you, complete with a real-time signal and noise meter.

"iStumbler provides the user with a very straightforward interface to view current wireless networks in range of the users computer. iStumbler tells you the SSID (station name), signal strength, channel, whether or not the station is encrypted with WEP, and much more in its easy-to-read interface."
