Wardriving in a screenplay

I am taking a class in screenwriting and want to include several scenes where some students go wardriving. I need a general description of what appears on the laptop screen when you wardrive and how the transmissions appear. Anybody want to take a stab at it?

In my story I wanted to have the laptop with a speech synthesizer and read the wireless transmissions as they are encountered. Would a detected transmission be something like XDFIE*(WNG:DLKJS(E:MLJD jazzlady:great,how r u? bart998: gonna watch CSI tonight? ADJF@#OP%I!@OP%J.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Kismet and NetStumbler are two of the most commonly used pieces of software for wardriving on a PC:

Festival is commonly used for speech in kismet:

Let me know if you have any more questions :) Whatever you do please do not depict wardriving as anything other than "The benign act of locating and logging wireless access points while in motion"
