Wireless card not found.

Cyvillian · 08-13-2002

I recently bought a Laptop, a Fujitsu C2111, with integrated 802.11B, the devices name is 'Intersil PRISM Wireless LAN PCI Card'. I've tried using APSniffer, Aerosol, and NetStumbler on this card, and nothing supports it. I tried installing the latest drivers(1.07.29F) from Fujitsu entitled "EARTHLING_WIRELESSLAN_WinXP-home.zip" But it didn't nothing still worked. I was wondering what I can do, wardriving-wise to make use of this card. Also is this PRISM card using the PRISM2 Chipset(Is there such thing as a prism1?)

First, please do not CROSSPOST. It is considered bad form.

Second, read the HTML file that come with NetStumbler, read the FAQ threads, and search the these forums. Netstumbler WILL NOT WORK with prism based cards. All of those sources will tell you that. Basically, RTFM.

You may wish to use the laptop with a *nix. Some 802.11b survey software for *nix will work with the prism chipsets.

I know someone who has been successful using a built in Prism2 (actually 2.5, but 2 should work too) card with kismet.
