I'm wondering if there is something similar to WiFiFoFum or MiniStumbler that can also identify Wifi clients in infrastructure mode.
My laptop was stolen and I have a pretty good idea that it's still in my neighborhood. I know the MAC address and I'm betting the wifi is still turned on. It would be very cool if I could walk around the block and see it searching for my SSID, but all of the apps I've found only show access points.

If I remember right wififofum can search for non access points but you have to select it in the settings.

It can find ad-hoc clients, but not clients set up to be looking for a infrastructure.

Have you tried PeekPocket? It is free and shows 'Peers'.

Sounded promising, but it doesn't show clients of access points. I think the "peers" in that application is just ad-hoc networks.
