Cards that reportedly do NOT work/ have problems w/NetStumbler 0.4 - Page 6

Mother · 10-19-2004

Just so everyone concerned knows, I have moved the latter part of the thread started by a really simple question that's been trodden on, FAQ'd etc. for years, and turned into flames. The rest of the previous messages stay, as the thread itself is of interest and was started by Marius.

Cheers,

Mother

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

Will this bug be fixed in the next versions of NetStumbler? Or does anyone even know why this card has this behaviour?

I hope to get an answer,

Wish I could say the same Marcus. NS wont recognize my Linksys wpc54g ver.2 card.

You have to do any tweaks or anything to get it working?
Anyone got ideas?

BTW, I'm running Win2k Pro SP4 on a Dell Latitude LS.

Note to g8tkeeper: This post was exactly where it belongs, it was in direct response to someone stating that the card DOES WORK. If you move my post It won't be seen by the people I want to see it. Please don't move it again.

No it wasn't. Deal with it and move on. Don't try me, do that again and your gone.

I'm running a TRENDnet card, the TEW-421PC. Net Stumbler says no wireless adapter found.

Hey. I was just wondering if Netstumber 4 should recognize a Linksys WUSB11 network adapter as it doesnt on my new computer. I tried to find a similar post but couldnt so I figured I would ask. Thanks for the help guys.

Would've like to have sent the Compat rept directly to the author, but when I launch NS, it immediately kills my working (and only) net connection via WiFi. Anyway, if this does make it to him, here's some info about the adapter:

Compaq iPAQ 11Mbps Wireless USB Adapter
HNW-200
FCC ID: MXF-WL280
Windows XP SP1
256MB of RAM

NS repts the adapter uses an Atmel chipset, but that's coming from the Device menu. Personally, I wouldn't know.

In case some other unfortunate soul is stuck w/ this clunker as I am, I've discovered that once NS kills the wireless connection, shut down the program and disable, then immed re-enable the WiFi adapter via the Network Connections folder, to recover wirelessness w/o a reboot.

Later, y'all....Jet

That is by design, NS is supposed to shut down WZC when it starts. On some machines you may have to restart it manually.

Don't know what WZC is, but this isn't entirely normal behavior. When NS loads, the WiFi part of the stack apparently gets hosed, that is until the next reboot. The disable/enable trick only worked immed following the NS install, prior to the 1st reboot. In the meantime, XP no longer permits the disable/enable thing, so a reboot is the way to clear WiFi layer, after NS has clobbered it.

*sigh* NS hasn't clobbered anything... NS has stopped the Wireless Zero Configuration service, because YOU didn't read the included documentation first.
Either disable Autoconfigure in NS, or restart WZC manually after you exit NS. To restart WZC, open a command prompt, type NET START WZC and press enter. Close the command prompt.

Next time, before making allegations that NS did something, try to read the included documentation, and do a search on the boards.. Otherwise you are just proving you are another tard, with no clue whatsoever...

My DWL-G630 does not work. It uses a chipset from Marvell called Libertas 88W8310. Any one else having the same issue?

I assumed anything with the Xtreme G capability would be difficult to implement.

PS - How do you actually go about implementing support for a particular card? I program in C++, so I do have a background....I'm just curious here.
