I've done some wardriving in Dayton where my folks live. I found quite a few access points but I've never really gone searching for them and taking down their locations. That and my brother just drives too damn fast.
My card is a mini-PCI Truemobile 1180 in my Dell Inspiron 5100. Its pretty damn nice because the antenna's are located in the sides of the LCD so I get good reception and nothing sticking out of my laptop.
When I'm looking for hotspots I use a program called Network Stumbler. It'll immediately tell you all you need to know to either connect to the network or start looking for a new one without WEP turned on. If you have a GPS attached to your computer it'll even map the coordinates of the hotspots you run across. I'd like to get one for car trips but they're a little pricey.
I dunno, wardriving just doesn't really appeal to me. I go to a college that has about 1/4 of all the buildings on campus equipped with hotspots.
