PocketWiNc Wi-Fi Finder... For Free
For a limited time (until Sunday), you can download a slick little Wi-Fi sniffing tool called PocketWiNc -- the same one that Andy wrote about a few months ago. PPCT review team member Philip Colmer reports that this isn't the full retail version, but it is a special PC Magazine version that doesn't expire.
You can also get a special desktop version for free. Looks very handy. 8)

Note that you do need to register with them to get the software.

Is it free to subscribe to PC World or what? Also, I'm weary of giving email addys. Is there another site for the down oad?

I don't think there is another site, as this is a PCMag special edition, but yes, I believe registering is free. Create a throwaway Hotmail account if you have to. 
DubWireless, are you using Mozilla? Maybe their webserver is misconfigured and giving it fits, and maybe it's worth a shot trying the download through IE. Otherwise try clearing your cache.

You can give it bogus information, it doesn't do any type of challenge/response mechanism to verify e-mail addresses.
