Perhaps... On that matter, I don't suppose anyone knows of software that
supports a common database behind ML/NNTP/forum frontends, do they?

WiFi is particularly well-suited for triangulation because most APs do not
move, and many laptops come WiFi-enabled.

Pinging would require associating with the networks, wouldn't it? Do any cards
allow associating to multiple networks and/or scanning at the same time?
