Netstumbler no wireless adapter found (again)

The SSID is irrelevant.

Probably because something else has control of the wireless adapter. Stop or disable any such software.

Make sure you do NOT have wireless zero config managing your wireless connection... Same for some of the older version of linksys software, download the newest version.....

I'm pretty sure that the Linksys software is the only thing controlling the adapter. As far as the SSID, I guess it's coincedence, but that seems to be the only way I can intermitently make it work. By intermittent, I mean maybe after Netstumber has been scanning (at it's fastest rate) for about 20 minutes. If I make the SSID valid (i.e. non-blank, the name of my network or any others), it never connects

I'm open to suggestions on how to confirm that nothing else is messing with the adapter!

I think you're actually better off running Windows WZC service, since Network Stumbler knows how to stop and restart it, something that might not be true for other connection managers.

If you do stick with the Linksys connection manager, try to shut it down before running Network Stumbler.

I'm not using WEP, but WPA with a non-shared key, and I'm not broadcasting my SSID. This does work intermittently, as long as I use the Linksys software to temporarily connect to a non-existent network with a blank SSID. After that, it does work, but is ratther spotty.

Huh?!?

Many wireless client bridge devices have you specify the network you want to connect to by SSID. Leaving SSID blank (or sometimes set to "ANY") means connect to any available network (a generally bad idea).

Thanks
