John We use Lenovo laptops so use their wireless client software which is quite good. If you want netstumbler type functions, try the "Xirrus" sidebar gadget, it lists SSID, encryption, channel freq and several other fields, all of which are sortable. It's not brilliant but handy to look about in the area as a core windows application.(http://www.xirrus.com/library/wifitools.php) Steve A ________________________________________ From: listbounce () securityfocus com on behalf of John Ballard Sent: Mon 25/02/2008 16:32 To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Vista Wireless Client Has anybody found a good wireless client for Vista? I'm only able to use Microsoft's generic wireless client to connect to networks at the time being. I'm running a Toshiba tablet with Vista Ultimate and would like to have a wireless client that at least will give me more information about wireless networks in the area. Netstumbler doesn't seem to work and I would use Atheros's client but they have supplied anything but the driver for vista. Also need a client that would work with the new 802.1x WEP encryption. Secure W2 is the best bet right now. John
