ARG! OnScanResult() + Orinoco Gold problems

SoulCoughy · 08-24-2002

can someone tell me why this doesn't work?

Sub OnScanResult(SSID, BSSID, CapFlags, Signal, Noise, LastSeen)
msgbox(SSID)
End Sub

netstumbler isn't even calling the sub..... i can't figure it out.

i'm also having that orinoco configuration problem with win2k and an orinoco gold. every now and then, boom, i just can't see anything anymore.

May be this will help: "Sub OnScanResult(SSID, BSSID, CapFlags, Signal, Noise, LastSeen) ' NOT YET"

Well, I'm not the guy to ask, of course. But I wouldn't throw those scripts away - I'd share them in the Scripts Forum.

No promises on when OnScanResult will get used. I am seeing if I can do it in such a way that when tons of data pours in, the machine doesn't grind to a halt. For example, if you use this to add a puspin to a MapPoint map, it will seriously slow everything down.

It's entirely possible that I will change the arguments that I pass in, too.

Hey marius, what about a seperate thread, or asynchronous event?

Then add the GPS parameter to the onscanresult, that way we get the GPS param with the result, and even if it is not realtime, we can still have a reasonably *live* map.
