    kismet supports 802.11a scanning in the latest version. it uses the
    vt_ar5k drivers for gnu/linux from http://team.vantronix.net/ar5k/.
    
    but you need an atheros ar5000- based 32bit cardbus/pci card and i'm
    not sure if it's possible to run it on the ipaq. nevertheless, these
    cards need some more power which could be a problem on any mobile
    device.
