New install - WLAN card not showing

[zebo51]

Running XP SP2 w/ Intel Pro/wireless 3945ABG card. Driver ver 11.5.0.32.

Works fine using Intel client, WZC, and a few other wireless clients tested on wireless networks. For some reason Wirelessmon is not seeing it. Running in eval mode. Any help appreciated.

Below is the dubg log.

It looks like the list of network cards isn't being returned by the NDIS driver correctly.

Is the card currently connected to an access point when you are running WirelessMon, does it affect the start-up if you connect/disconnect first?

When I first installed it, I was using wired. I then tried making a wireless connection and still no list. I then removed wirelessmon, rebooted and connected to a wireless network reinstalled wirelessmon and still nothing.

[zebo51]

The wireless client I was using was Cisco Secure Services Client. I tried disabling the service to try and use the windows client and no luck. In Cisco SSC though, with the service running I went under the Settings menu and unchecked Enable Client. This then allowed the windows client to work. Not sure why disabling the service didn't do the same.

Anyway, so I tired wirelessmon and my card was there and it started working.

The downside was that since it kills the WZC service, I lost my wireless connection. Is that the way it is suppose to work?

What is the Cisco SSC controlling that breaks it?

[TimR]

WirelessMon can't access the network card while the Windows Zero Config is running as it can't gain control of the network card (only one program can be controlling the network card at a time), the same reason applies when third party/manufacturer software is running. They can't share access between the various programs.
