Cisco 350 is detected but finds nothing

Gertrude · 03-16-2003

I have the Cisco 352 with duel mmcx jacks on it, I built my own antenna and it works because when I look at the statistics on the software that was installed with the card, it shows tons of different packets types, however netstubler detects the card, and I press the "play" button and should start the monitoring but I dont get anything showing up in netstumbler however there will be tons of different packet types showing up on the cisco software.

Is there anythng I need to do with this to get it to show what the Cisco software is detecting?

thanks

With the cisco cards I would use Kismet. not netstumbler. Netstumbler just uses the NDIS 5.1 drivers for the cisco card, I myself have a 340 and 342, they both stumble fine, not sure if that is the same in your case. search the forum, you will find the answer.

I've had numerous issues using Netstumbler with my AIR-PCM252 Cisco NIC; some APs are never detected, the signal strength readings are reversed, regardless of signal strength it always reads 100%, etc. I've not had good luck at all with Netstumbler and Cisco. I stick to using my Orinoco Gold or my Compaq WL110 (5019).

You might also ensure your ACU doesn't have an SSID configured. Make sure you've defined a "blank profile" and have it selected.
