My laptops take a few minutes to warm up (?) and then netstumbler starts picking up the APs. Something is definitely up. The only things that have changed are the automated Windows XP updates from our friends in Redmond.

I've had similar quirkiness with a couple of Orinoco gold cards.  I'd
setup netstumbler to... umm... stumble, but after a few minutes, it'd
detect no signals from any APs around me (and I have a *bunch*).  It's as
if I had disconnected the internal antenna from the receiver.  More strange
-- I'd reboot the machine, and it still wouldn't detect any signals.  I'd
wait a few hours, and it was fine again.  This was with two different
cards; no excessive heat or other anomalies were noticed.  I never did
figure out exactly what was going on; I ended up putting it aside for a
while, and never got back to it.  Very strange stuff.

Hey guys. I recently ran into some problems working with a pair of
Orinoco cards (One gold, one silver) with Netstumbler on a Thinkpad 240
running Win2K SP4. It seems that I have lost the ability to detect any
type of APs, and that despite the fact that I have not update the firmware

Did anyone run into something similar in your experience?
