Network Stumbler and Atheros AR5005G

#1 (**permalink**) 06-23-2007, 08:18 PM

I've an Atheros AR5005G WLAN in my Acer 9302 notebook. Network Stumbler
gives a message "No wireless adapter found".

In the menu>Device the adapter nework adapter is seen but it's displayed in
a grey text.

I'm running Vista. How can I solve this problem? Do I have to get
additional software?

Thanks.

Netstumber doesn't work under Vista.

You might wanna try this trick:
start -> run -> cmd <enter>
netsh (you should get a netsh> prompt)
wlan show network (simple output)
wlan show networks mode=bssid (all the good info)
exit

Not exactly Netstumbler, but much quicker.
