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.....
Yup, double checked the zero config service is not running, and I do have
the latest Linksys software installed. Thanks anyway!

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.

You aren't by any chance connected to a site with a wep are you? I use a wep
on mine (have to, PDA also on the wireless only does wep).. At any rate, if
I am connected to my home network (with wep), netstumbler won't work.. But
if I reboot and leave it off it works fine.......

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.

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).
