I can now confirm that I am able to use my Compaq WL100 with Netstumbler in Windows XP. I am using it on NDIS 5.1 mode. It successfully found an AP in my neighborhood.

However, I am not using the traditional driver for the WL100. Instead, I am using a driver for a Samsung MagicLan card, which uses the same Prism II chipset. I did this because the word around the street is that the Compaq drivers cause Windows to crash. Also, I was not able to connect to anything on the Compaq drivers. Therefore, use the Samsung MagicLan drivers for the WL100.
