If you have an old version update. Otherwise you might try tapping 802.11 frames with tcpdump on the AP to see what's going on: tcpdump -i ath0 -y IEEE802_11 As to dstumbler, it is intimately tied to the wi driver at the moment. I have a version that works w/ wi and ath drivers but it's a major rewrite and incomplete. If someone wants to pick it up I'd be happy to pass the (incomplete) work on... Sam
