Wardrivers, rather, drive around scanning for and gathering the locations of wireless networks, often for mapping purposes. The distinction here is wardrivers do not look for connections, but simply for the existence of wireless networks.
Wardriving is not a crime! Network crackers, on the other hand, deserve what they get.
See this posting from the FBI about the legality of wardriving:
