Interesting though I do not see any drivers installed for Stumbler and I can
still use my card to talk to my network at the same time. The Sniffer does
install another driver and it will not let me use the card to talk normally
at the same time.
Also, any help to subscribe to the WinPcap list would be great. I have no
way to communicate to them since I get a error about join vs. subscribe.
Thanks,
