any chance in hell this is going to be supported. it is an awesome wifi card. its stats are

model # AWUS036H
FCC ID# UQ2AWUS036H

chipset is RTL8187

it works with kismet in linux it is also nativly supported by linux so im thinking it shouldnt be to hard to get it working with net stumbler. also on the odd chance that it does actually work with net stumbler and that net stumber just hates vista X64 let me know.

It would seem it wasn't so easy for you to get working, was it?

As for it being supported in NS, it might work under NDIS, and WinXP, but don't count on it anytime soon under Vista, let alone Vista X64.

oh the joys of being on the cutting edge! heh if only i could get my gps device to work in BT2 then i wouldnt need net stumbler. i would just use kismet. but damned if i can figure out how to get it to work....

i got this particular gps device becuase it was advertised as supported under linux... its a holux GR-213 USB with the sirf star III chipset. i got it instead of an older one... only to find out the older one is known for a fact to work under linux gpsdrive and kismet. but the older one was much bigger and only had serial capability. oh well...

First, please capitalize properly. It is a requirement under the rules here, and it is enforced.

Secondly, many USB-serial converters will work under Linux. Most cost about $25-$30. One of these devices may allow you to use the GPS with BT2.

Yeah I still havn't gotten the enc option working in backtrack which sucks. And no one has answered on there. As far as I know I have it configured right. I have tested it on windows and it will connect to a secured network no problem. I've tried it with wep 64/128 and wpa and wpa2 so it works just fine in Windows. but yeah for this being the best wifi card there is (Quote from the bt2 forums) it sure is a pain in My Arse!

inthisdayandagewithBuiltinSpellcheckitsimple to do things right. There are many people on this forum for who English is not their primary language as well as people with handicaps. Plus you'll get a better response from the regulars with a well written question/response. If you can't take the time to properly write, how do you expect us to believe that you'll take the time to research a problem or be willing to methodically test a solution? You've already shown that you have a tendency to jump into things you don't understand. You already made the mistake of not fully researching what GPS to buy and just got one that was 'close'.

Best != easy to use

Best may be good for you but crap for me, it's all relative.

Well as far as the gps device goes it is a sirfstar III and from what i have seen on the net it should work with Linux. I know there is a Linux driver. I have gotten it working with GPSD or at least i think i have. Ive watched its output scroll. I don't understand the output but it looks identical in Linux as the output does in the gps diagnostic tool that came with it for windows. Also if you don't just jump into things you limit your learning. 90% of all the things that i have learned i have learned through trial and error. Same is true for most people i suppose.
my gps device works fine for most of my uses. It just doesn't work for one of them. And I'm sure it would work I'm just to dense to figure it out, and most people wont take the time necessary to help my dense self.

You should be able to use SIRFDemo in windows to connect and change the output of it to NMEA

Yep. When I had the "bad" version of gpsd, I used the demo program to reset everything in Windows.
