From Jim Soper:

If you want to know if a voting machine has active WiFi (wireless), you can use a laptop or some handheld devices such as a PDA or Cell Phone.

Better would be to get a directional WiFi locator, because it can tell you not only if WiFi is present, but what direction it’s coming from.

I asked a hardware techie friend of mine, and he suggested buying the following device: Hawking – HWL1 – 802.11b/g WiFi Locator

It’s $25

It’s listed at TigerDirect.com

Neither my friend nor myself has actually used this, but I think I’ll get it or something similar in the next week.

Message from Mark: "I am a one-man operation, although assisted greatly by some volunteers, and, now and then, by people paid by others for one-time projects. There is no shortage of skilled, dedicated folks out there who want to help me. There is, however, nothing I can pay them with, unless you decide you can contribute something."
