NetStumbler only detects Access Points or individual devices if they are in an Ad-Hoc network.
Are your devices functioning as an ADHOC network?

If no see above.

If yes verify NS/MS is really working with your hardware!


I notice you joined the forums today... Have you done any searching or reading of related threads?

Here is part of the NS README

What is NetStumbler?

NetStumbler is a tool for Windows that allows you to detect Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) using 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g. It has many uses:

* Verify that your network is set up the way you intended.
* Find locations with poor coverage in your WLAN.
* Detect other networks that may be causing interference on your network.
* Detect unauthorized "rogue" access points in your workplace.
* Help aim directional antennas for long-haul WLAN links.
* Use it recreationally for WarDriving.

Notice "rogue access points"!!!

Is either of your devices an access point?

Erm, according to the documentation one of it's uses is for detecting rogue wireless devices.
Which documentation did you read "devices" in?


Also, there is one use not listed.

* Used by lazy noobs and criminals to start flame wars in the NS forums.
