Hi all!
I'm new to WLAN and the only device I have is an Airport extreme card in a Powerbook 12". I'm more interessted to use it "on the road" than at home. Macosx and the airport stuff is up to date. I installed macstumbler, istumbler and kismac (newest versions as well).
First I made a quick test in the applestore. The drop-down-menue showed me the airport-base. That was actually the last connect at all. I wardrived around to see what macstumbler would find. Nothing. Same with istumbler. I went to a friend with an AP. He opened up WLAN (no encryption, just open for a while), but I still found nothing. Next I installed kismac. I know that this SW has its own drivers (three?). I rebooted tried all of these drivers. I wondered that I could not see any kextmodule except the Airport one from Apple. I tried mac- and istumbler again. Nothing. I also wondered to see nothing important in /var/log/system.log.
Had somebody similar problems and can give me a hint? Thanks a lot for helping or pushing me in the right direction!
TIA,
h.
