Exclamation Cards that reportedly do NOT work/ have problems w/NetStumbler 0.4
Be warned that NS 0.4's Atheros support is poor. Yes, it works, but the driver has the annoying habit of reporting everything it's seen in the last 2 minutes, rather than what it can see right now. NS 0.4 works around this but it may cause APs to appear and disappear.

Use an Atheros card in NDIS 5.1 mode to see it without the workaround. It's scary.

I tested with my TM1300 and it worked like a champ.

Not sure why you are having issues. The broadcom chipset is now supported. Perhaps you could give some more details.

Good to know this, my Atheros A/B card was doing this.

I'm also not seeing any noise, is this part of the work around?

Atheros cards do not report noise. I talked to their engineering folks and they could not understand why anyone might want such a thing

Engineers couldn't understand this? I could see Marketing people saying something like that, but engineers!

This support is through NDIS 5.1, right? My Linksys WPC54G is Broadcom based and only the NDIS entry appears in the menu for cards.

I can't speak for the WPC54G of course, but TM1300 support is indeed through NDIS 5.1. I would ASSUME that WPC54G (and any other Broadcom cards) is as well.

Search for "two minutes" I think this is the problem you are referring to.

Marius answered that too somewhere, but I had trouble finding it in my search so I'll just paraphrase:

1. live with it
2. buy a different card
3. don't use netstumbler
4. something else i don't remember

Search around and you shoudl find his exact quotes...but in a nutsell that is it.

The thread may have turned into a flame war and been moved. Let me see if I can find it and repost Marius' response verbatim. Give me a couple of minutes.
