iStumbler is a free, open source tool for finding wireless networks
and devices with your AirPort or Bluetooth equipped Macintosh. 
iStumbler combines a compact user interface with a real time display 
of signal strength and extensive debugging information.

Release 89 updates the plugin interface to support logging and other 
cross-plugin communication, and improves the Log plugin which can now
selectively display notifications based on user preferences.

Beginning with Release 90 you can support iStumbler by subscribing to

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."
