We're getting ready for our holiday travels to visit family back east, and I'm looking for a working WiFi access point discovery tool for my Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 running 5.3-R. The internal MiniPCI WiFi card on wi0 is Lucent-based, and the USR2401 PCCARD on wi1 is Prism2-based. "dstumbler" from the bsd-airtools (0.3) package doesn't work for either card (it does, however, work on our other Toshiba still running 4.8-R to discover our local access point with "dstumbler wi0 -s" using the same two WiFi cards), and the kismet package doesn't find our local access point with the Lucent MiniPCI card on wi0. Pointers on either (1) a known working WiFi AP discovery tool for 5.3-R or (2) how to make dstumbler work on 5.3-R will be appreciated ! -- Gary E.
