[Off and On Topic for Linux]

A friend of mine called asking about having a WiFi site survey done for a
client of his (here in Omaha).

Question 1: [off topic] Anyone have a suggestion or two for people he can
contact to do this?

Question 2: [on topic] Is there a Linux package that would allow someone to
do this themselves?

I'd guess this program would be AutoCAD-like in that you would draw out a
building, describe the walls (cement, glass-windows, steel/wood studs,
drywall thicknesses, etc), and it would estimate the signal strengths on the
map.
