Dan,
Your better choice is an iPAQ with the PC Card "expansion sleeve plus,"
which adds a second battery to the equation. This gives you longer life,
and also allows you to use a Lucent/Cisco PC Card adapter that can accept an
external antenna, which will give you better range.

but it is quite expensive (app. $2500 US or more). The rogue AP detection
is a crucial part of this. Any thoughts?
