Belkin card not detected by netstumbler

Bob Vila · 01-01-2005

Hello,
I have a Belkin F5D6020 802.11b wireless card, and I belive that it uses the prism2 chipset (In linux it detected it as this, and with the wlan-ng drivers, it used the prism2 ones). I was able to use kismet in linux and everything worked fine.
I switched to windows because if i do anything with kismet or airsnort in linux, I couldt do anything else because it took up so much of my RAM, even after I had closed them.
So I put windows on, and installed Netstumbler, but it won't see my card

. Is there anything thing I can try or do to make it work? It works with aerosol (sp?) but it dosent have all the features that netstumbler does.
If I can't get it working, is there any other windows programs that are similar to netstumbler?

Thanks,
Bob

What windows did you "put on" it?

NS will not work with that adapter in 9X.

Using Search "9X" I was able to find the following...

Does this not work with Windows 98?

netstumbler and 98se

Linksys and Netstumbler .40

No, you'd be best to find another card. Try the readme for details.

well, this is actually my second card :-\ I got a Belkin 7010 (i think) 802.11g for Christmas, but it was too new for my laptop (32bit, my laptop only supports 16). My laptop is only 100MHz, so i will upgrade my laptop before I get a new card.

Is there any other windows programs that are good for wardriving? or should i just go back to linux?
