from the data you provided I googled and found:

"It's a prism 2.5 based "

Prism based cards are not supported in NetStumbler/MiniStumbler Version: 0.3.23

well you dont provide much info as to what card it is.

wavelan i belive is a lucent based card which would be yes.

but since you dont provide info its a 50-50 chance

Geez, have you even looked at the link? If you're so sure, then why ask?

The link says a Prism based chip; which if you read anything about netstumbler, you would know that its not supported. It also describes it as a mini-pci card, does this sound like what you have? A number of companies used the Wavelan brand name, so it could be anything. Just try it, fer crying out loud.

You really need to supply as much information as possible if you want answers to questions like this. HP did market a rebranded Orinoco card model HN220W. This card has been reported to work with netstumbler.

Just because one hp wireless card works doesn't mean that every card they have produced or may produce in the future will. Information like model numbers, FCC id's, mac addresses, physical characteristics etc. are all helpful when determining what a card is.

Is this your card? HN220W
