Please be more clear. Are you trying to turn your laptop into a WiFi sniffer?

as rubberman said, could you please tell us what your purpose is? - is it to find out where the best signal is or something?

why dont you try downloading the latest driver for your hardware, that will surely have the feature in that you need.

As suley04 said, google latest driver for your wifi card, and you should be fine. But if you if you need more detail security info, you prob need 3rd party soft.
