Hi,

More and more in the hotels, while traveling around, you could
hook-up to Wi-Fi but the instructions (for the Windows guys), just
say: switch on your notebook, launch your browser and follow
the instructions to enter your credit card details, ie. el puto
Windows knows by itself such details like SSID, etc. and how to
configure the card (mine one is Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG).

That's why I wanted to give 'wistumbler2' from the ports a try:

I've sitting next to me a 'acer' WLAN-AP and ifconfig says about:

# ifconfig iwi0 scan
SSID            BSSID              CHAN RATE  S:N   INT CAPS
Sisis           00:02:72:43:e1:2f   11   11M 87:0   100 EP  
default         00:30:bd:fd:b6:eb   11   54M 35:0   100 EP  
SCHLEMMER       00:0f:66:c7:70:9f   11   54M 31:0   100 EP  

but the tool 'wistumbler2' does not see anything; is it somehow broken?

Thx
