Have any Vista users tried Inssider and if so how does it perform?
perform?
When I used netstumbler, it reconfigured my wifi card. No way I could connect to an AP and run netstumbler at the same time.
perform?
It disables Zero config if that's what you mean?
For those that didn't read the web page, "Inssider" " is a replacement for NetStumbler that works on Windows Vista", it is not NetStumbler which is why I added the "?". When I tried it on XP SP2 it did not disable "wireless zero config" and I was able to scan my locality while having access to my network.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I have .net rev 2 issues, so it won't install.
Still, I don't see how inssider can run and scan at the same time since you need to change channels (hop). In fact, kismet has a hop/no- hop option.
I have rev3 installed but the latest is 3.5.
"A timer on the Form calls the Scan() function every two seconds" from
The user mentioned it reconfiguring their card on NetStumbler. This was what I was referring to.
My newsserver failed to post miso's reply so I was stuck with responding to your post.
Yes, Inssider scans about every 3 seconds, so it doesn't completely take over the Zero Config interface. One issue I've seen with Inssider though is if your Wi-Fi is extremely active (downloads, file transfers, etc) Windows won't scan the channels when Inssider requests it, so Inssider doesn't get updated information.
We created Inssider as a side project while working on our Chanalyzer application and decided to publicly release it. I've been cleaning up the code and getting it ready for open sourcing. We're going to go with the Apache License so that everyone can do what they please with it :-)
