MNRV is a still-very-early-stages project to build a wireless sniffer that does more than just give you a list of APs. My goal is to be able to have the software identify the relationships between APs, clients, stations, WDS systems, and display them in a visual manner. When I'm wardriving (or walking) round, I can't keep up with a 300-lines-per-second TCPDump window. I want to glance, and see what networks are open/interesting/big, and which clients are hopping around all over the place, and who's running fancily-architected WDS systems.
MNRV shares quite a bit of code with MHWG, and may indeed actually merge into it for user interface. (Although, I was contemplating ripping the GUI out of my kismet client, reparenting it to use the new packet-socket backend from MHWG, and then adding the logic from MNRV...). At the moment, all it does is produce diagrams describing the relationship between AP's and stations; it's only worthwhile trick is identifying (correctly, to my surprise) APs that provide l2-bridging, which stations are really wireless, and which are bridged.
