I really enjoy Network Stumbler (especially the audio alerts), but sadly it doesn't work on my Vista machine, either due to OS incompatibility (Vista is officially unsupported, but it works for some people) or an unsupported network card -- mine is a Broadcom. Under Vista, NS gives the error, "No wireless adapter found."<br> <br> The NS user forums are useless, because all Vista-based questions are <a href="http://www.netstumbler.org/showthread.php?t=21558">swiftly closed</a> because it's unsupported, officially.<br> <br> What's a good alternative piece of software that works with Vista? Or, in the off chance that someone has been able to get Vista + a Broadcom adapter to work with NS, how'd you do it?<br> <br> The nitty gritty of my setup:<br> <br> -Dell 640m (e1405)<br> -Vista Home Basic<br> -Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller; 802.11g Network Adapter tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.66450 Sat, 07 Jul 2007 11:50:22 -0800 networks networkstumbler wardriving wifi wireless nitsuj
