EnGenius and SSID

HITMONEY · 05-04-2003

Hello all,
First I would like to thank you guys for all the information this forum provides as I have been lurking here for quite some time.

After reading every post on every thread that came up on a search concerning the EnGenius Senao cards, I still am unclear on their performance when it comes to Netstumbler.

In a couple of posts the users indicated that when using these cards a broadcasted SSID would not show up on stumbler, is this a driver or firmware issue that has been resolved?

I have seen some rather pricey kits on ebay utilizing this card. I am rather happy with my Gold but I am goint to be setting up a new stumbler rig and was curious as to the EnGenius' stumbling performance.

Thanks you in advance for any info.

Keep searching.....

The Senao cards work fine with NS under XP, they just won't
pickup the AP Name (If it has one), but it should pickup the
BSSID.

Well based on the amount of replies, i think I will stay with the tried and true Orinco Gold..

Just scored a great deal on a ipaq 5455 so looks like I am going to need 2 more cards..... ack

NS'ing sure is getting expensive.

But I am a sucker for new toys.
