I can confirm that the Cisco Aironet 350 with the newest XP drivers does have problems. I shows old AP's that are no longer available, the signal strength flatlines even though I'm moving around, and it'll sometimes display multiple MAC's for the same AP.

Are you sure it is Hermes based?

not 100%... but in in Linux its identified as an "Agere Systems Hermes-II based PCMCIA Wireless Adaptor". I think the "hermes" module is also gets loaded.

Then in the drivers package there says something about "Hermes/Hermes2 based adaptors"

You are using NS? It was written for the Hermes chipset. Which windows version and drivers you using?

Support for Uniden PCW-200

NetStumbler 0.4 does not even detect the fact that my Uniden PCW-200 (Intersil PRISM 2.5 chipset) is a wireless nic. Is support for the card/chipset specifically planned in the future, or will I just have to wait until it randomly makes its way into the program?

You using NDIS with that prism?

P. S. As far as support goes you will have to ask the author.

I am (or was until recently) accessing internet through a wireless router using the Uniden PCW-200. Was using WinME ICS to share over a RealTek 8139. Not sure whether Windows stuck NDIS to the wireless, but IPCFG gives me NDIS 5.0 driver for the RealTek.

I've got a 3Com OfficeConnect 3CRSHPW196, which (according to the chipset-list on the hardware forum) uses Atmel for a chipset, and Atmel is among the new supported chipsets in 0.4. When I start NetStumbler with my card inserted, it says No wireless device found, if I then remove and reinsert the card NS says A device attached to the system is not functioning.

Usually when a card isn't working, yet others have gotten it to work, it's a driver or firmware issue. Occationally, it is a driver or program conflict.

First make sure nothing else is competing for the wireless card. Then update the card with the latest firmware from the manufacturer, and finally check the drivers.

Ok, I got NS working (silly problem), but this gave me another problem. Now I can use NS with no problem at all (using NDIS 5.1 in the device-list instead of Atmel), but the configuration utility provided by 3Com claims NDIS is not installed and I cannot configure my card :/
Still looking into firmware upgrades, I'll edit this post when I know more...

Edit: Found no trace of firmware at 3Com. Reinstalled the wireless NIC and things seem to go along smoothly now. I can use both NS and the WLAN config. Though I think I've found what looks like it could be a bug or a compatibility issue: Unless I reinsert my NIC after starting NS, the device menu reports No suitable devices found, altough scanning works flawlessly by just pressing the "play" button.
In any event, you're doing great marius, I'm really happy to get NS running on my comp at all

Unhappy Can't get Dell TM1150 working on XP

I have a Dell Latitude C640 with a TM1150 MiniPCI. Every time I start NetStumbler it disconnects my wireless connection. When I exit NetStumbler, I am able to reconnect. Does this have anything to do with the Wireless Zero Config? I have stopped the automatic reconfigure on NetStumbler, but it doesn't help. Also I am using a SSID, but I would rather not remove that.

Any Ideas?

Thanks.

Go read the README before you get flamed to death! Toss in a search while you are at it.
