netstumbler program quitting automatically

I currently have a Dell Inspiron 1100 with a Linksys WPC11 v4 and am running windows XP home. Whenever I start up netstumbler it shuts itself off. The time the program is running varies from <1 second to a minute or so. I am utilizing driver version 5.158.1001.2003 and am also running the Linksys configuration utility. It does not matter if the utility is running or not the same results occur either way. any ideas as to what could be causing this?

I'm having the exact same problem. I guess it could be an unsupported card but the card worked flawlessly for months and the issue didn't go away when I tried an Orinoco card that is supported. I'm stumped.

Do you have the Newer Proxim :( or the Old Orinoco :D?

The proxim ones don't work.

Also if you are using windows XP, you have to disable the "use windows to configure your wireless network settings."
