Whether a client adapter is a 16-bit PCMCIA card or a 32-bit CardBus card doesn't matter to NetStumbler. However, it may matter to your laptop. CardBus is a fairly recent technology, and laptops built before 1999 generally don't have CardBus slots. If you buy a CardBus card and your laptop lacks a CardBus slot, the card won't fully insert and will not function at all.

NetStumbler (more formally, Network Stumbler for Windows) is a stumbling utility for 32-bit Windows. It is a free and relatively simple installable program that listens for Wi-Fi access point beacons and logs them to a disk file, with all the information that the AP makes publicly available.

PCMCIA a.k.a. PC Card is a 16-bit interface which is constrained by the ISA bus, providing a maximum data throughput of 2 Mbytes/sec. The small form-factor, hot insertion capability, and light weight characteristics are the same for both CardBus and PCMCIA / 16-bit PC Cards.

NetStumbler author Marius Milner actively enhances the product, adding more supported client adapters on a regular basis. He posts a list of supported client adapters in the readme file for the NetStumbler software. This readme file is included in the NetStumbler download archive, but it's also posted on the Web. This is the first place you should look to check for specific client adapter support.

PC Cards allow you to establish a connection to the Internet using a laptop computer when you are within the Verizon Wireless National Enhanced Services Area. The PC air card has an antenna and will pick up a wireless radio signal from the air much like your voice cellular phone.

Verizon Wireless PC Cards are designed to work in any PC laptop computer running Windows 98SE, Windows XP or Windows 2000 that is also equipped with a PC Card slot (PCMCIA Type 2). Verizon Wireless provides software with each card, which is installed on the computer and will control all the functions of the card (activation, connecting/disconnecting, etc).

No. The Seven of Diamonds has a 16bit interface guaranteeing it will be usable in all notebooks. CardBus PC Cards are only usable in CardBus notebooks.

PC Card (often incorrectly called a "PCMCIA" card) is the general name for a technology originally developed in 1989 that adds expansion capabilities such as memory, mass storage, networking and wireless communications to computers and other communications and consumer electronics devices. Over 95% of notebooks use PC Card technology for their I/O expansion, although this number is already dropping due to the emergence of ExpressCard technology.

CardBus is a 32-bit PC Card interface which combines low-power, small form-factor, hot insertion capability, and light weight of PC Cards with the high-performance of PCI. CardBus PC Cards have a maximum theoretical throughput of 132 Mbytes/sec by using the PCI transfer protocol. CardBus brings PCI to the portable PC.

The Verizon Wireless PC Cards come with a software installation CD that assists with the installation of the PC Card onto the laptop computer. After installation of the drivers and software, the card is inserted into the PC card slot followed by a few automated steps for activation of the card. Once this is complete you can be online and browsing in no time.

Some laptops with a PCMCIA controller made by ENE have been found to be incompatible with our Cardbus products (Indigo, Indigo io, Indigo dj, Layla24 Laptop, Mona Laptop). If you have such a laptop and are having audio playback problems with one of our products then this utility may help you. Go here to find out more information and download the utility.

Detecting rogue access points in large networks used by many people. A rogue access point is simply an access point that has been connected to a network without the permission or knowledge of the network administrator. These are a hazard in a number of ways, but primarily in that they are connected behind the company firewall and thus short-circuit most of the network's security technology.

NetStumbler accepts GPS data through any of the PC's serial ports. Note that "serial" does not mean "USB" here; NetStumbler only accepts serial data on COM ports. (There is a dodge around this that I've used; see below.) In terms of GPS data formats, the older versions of NetStumbler only accepted NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) 183 data. The latest version will also accept Garmin Binary, Garmin Text, and Tripmate formats.

Apple changed a component on the original Orinoco wireless card (same as AirPort) and they will never work in that slot, unfortunately.

David Cary designed this FAQ to hold everything PCMCIA and PC Card - related that I know/want to know/have heard rumors about/. I can't possibly guarantee that everything in here is true. Please do send corrections, (good) questions, suggestions, contributions, (constructive) criticism, clarification of ambiguities, and pointers to d.cary+pc_card@ieee.org (David Cary). The symbol "???" indicates unknown or incomplete information -- if you can confirm it, please tell me.

Emphatically not. Netstumbler is a good and courteous listener. It only records those elements of data that the access point (AP) makes public. It has no machinery for sniffing packets, reverse-engineering passwords, or even connecting to an unprotected network. Furthermore, NetStumbler respects the wishes of network owners in terms of the public visibility of their networks: If the owner of an AP disables the AP's beacon broadcast, NetStumbler will not detect it.

There is no one answer to this question. The way to approach it is to look at the four variables that govern a client's suitability for use with NetStumbler. I list them in their order of importance: Technology. 802.11b is the only wireless technology supported by NetStumbler. 802.11a and draft 802.11g do not (currently) work at all. TI's 802.11b+ chipset has been reported by some to work, but my experiments with D-Link's DWL-650+ PC card have not borne this out. NetStumbler compatibility.

The list below details reports of cards that have been tested. If you have expereince of a card not listed below, then we would interested to hear from you. This is the card recommended by UCL. Drivers are available for Windows 95/98/NT4, FreeBSD and Linux. There are several versions of this card which vary in price and capability. Theoreticly as they all use the bt848 chip they will all work. This card also worked.

The "Lucid Dreaming in Seven Days!" book and all related software requires a minimum of a 486 processor with 16MB of RAM and around 10MB of disk space. This covers about 95% of computers in the world! The Audio Stimulation CD does not require a computer to run. In brief, if you actually have a PC, don't worry. It should work without problem on your machine.

Answer: No, not at the same time. Zune is configured for either Mac or PC. You can use the Zune Software Updater utility to restore Zune to work with a Mac or a PC (depending on which version of the utility you use). See technical document 60983, "Zune: How to Restore" for more information.

The TriAxis program was written many years ago when Windows 95 was the flavor of the month - but things in the computer world move on at an alarming rate. We saw Windows 98, then Windows Millennium, then Windows 2000 and now Windows XP - Bill Gates really does have something to answer for here - most of these operating systems are incompatible in one way or another. For the program to work on XP systems you MUST set the program to run under Windows 95 emulation mode - or it simply will not work.

I've just exported my Finished Layout into PhotoShop and it stop building the file after a couple of layers.

It will work on any PC/MAC/Mobile, whatever, as long as what you are using has a web browser you are good to go!
