Try out kismet:

Another good one would be netstumbler:
http://www.netstumbler.com/
There's also airsnort:
http://airsnort.shmoo.com

I'd give kismet a go first.

Ah woops! Yea, soory, I know it's popular, but forgot it doesn't work in Linux. :(
However, their FAQ states to try kismet or dstumbler as alternatives with the same functionality.
