MiniStumbler GPS lockups
 #
Q: I set my GPS to COM3 and now MiniStumbler locks up. How do I fix this?
A: This is the result of unexpected behavior by the Windows CE serial drivers. It will be fixed in the next version of MiniStumbler. In the meantime, you can set your system back to COM1 as follows:

  1. Install a registry editor (such as PHM Registry Editor)

  2. Go to HKCU\Software\Bogosoft\MiniStumbler

  3. Set the value of GPS Port to 1.

This site will give you the most current information available about the development of the NetStumbler and MiniStumbler software.
The general idea is that this will be a highly condensed version of the information that you find at netstumbler.com.
There's not much here yet, so check back soon.

FBI warns against 802.11
 #
This email came to me via a number of sources. If you're familiar with wireless, nothing here will surprise you. However, for the folks that go to Fry's to buy a cheap AP and unwittingly blow holes in their company's LAN security, this should be required reading (as should the article at extremetech).

What is NetStumbler?
 #


Q. What is Netstumbler?

A. NetStumbler is a Windows tool that allows you to discover 802.11b (and 802.11a, if using Windows XP) wireless LANs. It includes GPS integration and a simple, intuitive user interface.
Though primarily targeted at owners of wireless LANs, it has been the de facto tool for casual users such as "war drivers" since 2001.

NetStumbler 0.3 won the eWeek / PC Magazine i3 award for Innovation In Infrastructure, 2002.
