Vista Not showing Ap's, sometimes

[kreischl]

Hi. I am evaluating the program and I get mixed results on Vista. I am patched to whatever was available the morning of October 10th. I have an Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN card in a Dell Latitude 830 laptop. The intel driver is version 11.1.1.22 (latest from Dell and Intel website).

When I'm pre-connected to an AP and start the program, I see the connection information in the upper part of the summary but no AP's are shown in the list.

When I click on the disconnect icon, then the AP shows in the list.

If I re-connect within your program, then the AP still shows in the list, but I get no information in the upper section.

Thanks.

There is a beta build of the next release available that has several Vista improvements in it, could you please try http://www.passmark.com/ftp/wirelessmon2.0.1100.exe and let me know if there is an improvement.

The beta release has the same issue.

[TimR]

Could you please run WirelessMon with the DEBUGMODE command line parameter and send us the log file that is created.

The beta or production version?

[TimR]

The next release will be available in a few hours so it's probably best to wait for it to be released and use it.

Same issue -I'm connected to the AP but it doesn't show up in the list.

EDIT: Duplicate using eval version on another Dell model with a broadcom chipset. What are you using?

[TimR]

The two laptops i've been using are both dells, an Inspiron 8600 and Inspiron
700m, both with intel 2200BGs, as well as using a Netgear USB card.

If you could run the latest version in debug mode, starting WirelessMon while already connected to an access point and then disconnecting from within WirelessMon we'll take a look at what could be happening.

Something else I noticed - its showing channel number beyond 12, for example 32778.
