No WiFi card detected in MiniStumbler and PocketWarrior ... yet card works great

Scott716 · 01-19-2006

Great forum.

The Wifi card in my Pocket PC works great and I know that there are many WiFi networks around me (the Pocket PC's connection settings notices at least 4).

But when I run either MiniStumbler or PocketWarrior on my Pocket PC, no wifi card is detected.

I know that the WiFi card is there because it is working!! Now how do I get MiniStumbler or PocketWarrior to recognize them? Both claim to work with my card, I think.

Any suggestions?

It is an HP iPaq 2215 (Pocket PC) with WiFi in a CF card which is a Linksys WCF12.

I can't speak about PocketWarrior, but the Linksys WCF12 is not supported by MiniStumbler.

You did read the README, right? Official MiniStumbler README

Look at the MiniStumbler (bottom) section of the compatiblity list . The only CF card listed is the Dell Truemobile 1180 CF.

Using unsupported hardware can have strange results like not working at all.

However on my iPaq I use a WCF12 with PocketPC 2002 it is working as expected. I searched the internet as well this forum and found a solution. If I loaded WCF11 drivers MS would recognise the card.

The card finds networks, doesn't latch on to random APs, doesn't lock up. Of course I don't get noise data but I don't need it anyway.
