MSI PC54G2 compatibility

Hello everybody, I bought a MSI pc54g2 card and it is working fine, I can see some networks but the netstumbler sofware says ¨no wireless card found¨
I have a win2000 prof, and the drivers seem to be all right.
Is any compatibility problem ? thanks

"Requirements
General Requirements
The requirements for NetStumbler are somewhat complex and depend on hardware, firmware versions, driver versions and operating system. The best way to see if it works on your system is to try it.

Some configurations have been extensively tested and are known to work. These are detailed at http://www.stumbler.net/compat. If your configuration works but is not listed, or is listed but does not work, please follow the instructions on the web site.

The following are rules of thumb that you can follow in case you cannot reach the web site for some reason.

This version of NetStumbler requires Windows 2000, Windows XP, or better.
The Proxim models 8410-WD and 8420-WD are known to work. The 8410-WD has also been sold as the Dell TrueMobile 1150, Compaq WL110, Avaya Wireless 802.11b PC Card, and others.

Most cards based on the Intersil Prism/Prism2 chip set also work.
Most 802.11b, 802.11a and 802.11g wireless LAN adapters should work on Windows XP. Some may work on Windows 2000 too. Many of them report inaccurate Signal strength, and if using the "NDIS 5.1" card access method then Noise level will not be reported. This includes cards based on Atheros, Atmel, Broadcom, Cisco and Centrino chip sets."

That's the best I can do. Hope it helps.

I also buy a MSI PC54G2 card, and after a little trick it was detected in NetStumbler.

With netstumbler on(it will say 'No Network Card Found'), go to the hardware device properties and change, for example the property Tx Burst to 'Enable', and press OK. (NetStumbler already found it), Next go again to the properties and disable it again.

From my small experience with NetStumbler (I bought my card yesterday) I discover that changing the hardware properties somehow 'wake NetStumbler'
