Have a look in the configuration for your WiFi card. There could be a tab
marked something like 'Site Scan'. That would be a basic sniffer.

A more comprehensive one, which can configure your card to auto-connect to
networks you regularly visit, is PocketWiNC from http://www.cirond.com.

Free sniffers include PocketWarrior, Netstumbler, and Boingo Boingo. Be
aware that not all sniffers work with all WiFi cards, though.
