Let me know when you get an 802.11b adapter that works with the Palm III and I'll get started on PalmStumbler

I have a Visor with the 802.11b Xircom adapter; any luck on getting a "mini' version for this?

For more info about the Xircom, you check out my review:

Alan, I've heard of this recently, and was interested. Do you know if Intel is continuing production since they bought Xircom? I'm planning on reading your article as soon as this is posted. Also, not having read the article yet, does it come with any tool(s) to show that you are near a wireless network? (Ignore this if its in the article...)

BTW, nice article on wardriving in Charlotte, NC. You might be interesting in the comments on the the news section of the main Netstumbler site. Someone asked if you'd invented the word "whacker."

On last comment: It's nice to see a member of the Fifth Estate actully taking part in these discussions, and not just reacting in the usual "OMG! Hackers! Slobbering no-good Hackers!" mode.

Cheers,

There's an update for PalmOS 4.0 and higher available at:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Detail_Desc.asp?ProductID=688&DwnldID=3272
(from Intel):
This module update fixes the following issues:

a) Enhances DHCP by adding support for multiple DHCP Servers
b) Improves the Peer-to-Peer connection
c) Improves Broadcast Receive to allow a response to all pings while connected
d) Added a 'Connect at Power Up' feature to Power Management that allows the SWE1130 to associate with the network when the Visor is powered on
e) Fixed the occasional 'PPP timeout'.

The full tech spec's (as reported by Intel) are available at: http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/resources/doc_library/tech_specs/spec_xirswe1130.htm

From what I gather, it looks as though this update will allow reception of all local signals without having to manually enter WAP info, as was necessary previously. However I'm not for certain on that.

Just spent some time on the Intel site, it looks like they are still selling and maintaining the 802.11b add on.

It's still available from many web dealers and I saw it in a CompUSA when I purchased my Visor a couple of weeks ago.

I've got one that I purchased off of eBay for only $99 (he has 3-4 left).

I'd be interested in a version of mini-stumbler for the palm os, which uses this device.

Thanks
