I'm using a Dell TrueMobile 1150 (rebranded Orinoco) card under Windows 2000 for some wardriving. The card works great at my house, but I drove around for 2-3 blocks and didn't pick anything up but my AP.
I later realized that Netstumbler was only detecting SSIDs which I had defined in my TrueMobile client manager program. I tested this by going to a location where I know two SSIDs exist. I fired up Netstumbler and selected one of the SSIDs in the client manager and Netstumbler detected it. Now, when I switched SSIDs in the client manager program, Netstumbler no longer detected the 1st AP and now detected the other instead. Needless to say, this kind of set up is pretty useless for wardriving since it will only lists SSIDs in Netstumbler that are defined in the client manager program. I've tried unloading the client manager, and removing it from Windows startup and rebooting but none of it seemed to help. I haven't tried uninstalling it, because AFAIK that's the only way for me to configure my wireless card under Windows 2000. Any advice?
