Like a charm ...however, for extra flexibility, I also
own a Linksys WUSB 2.5 wireless client, and as long
as you have no preferred network/profile in the Linksys
proprietary site survey tool, it will pick up surrounding
SSID's fine inside NetStumbler.

Otherwise, if you indicated a preferred SSID /profile in
that proprietary tool, then it will warn you that the Linksys
USB wireless card is not in promiscuous mode, and you
need to fix it. So, powering down the PC, and rebooting
with the no preferred SSID in the other tool, enables
Netstumbler to work.

I also noticed the utility stops the Zero Configuration Utility
inside windows XP.
