PS. Had a (very) quick google for netstumbler-like tools on Linux:

A lot of these types of tools have quite a lot you will not need, just look at the "overview" or "home" screen.
Fantastic, thanks for all the pointers. About to see if any of the tools above can assist: although I only have one neighbour and I know they don't have wireless it may still give me a hint as to what is going on.
Ted: funnily enough, the problem started just after I put a large tv/monitor next to the box, and a google revealed they could interfere. I've since moved it and the problem persists though!
I have a vague wondering if it is to do with the router not having encryption and the card expecting it. I'm not sure how to tell the card there is none to test this theory.
Thanks,
Jenny
