[edit] History
The project was started because Network Stumbler hasn't been actively developed for years. MetaGeek heard complaints that NetStumbler doesn't work with Windows Vista and 64-bit Windows XP, so they decided to build an open-source Wi-Fi network scanner designed for the current generation of Windows operating system.
[edit] Development
This project was started by Charles Putney on The Code Project. Norman Rasmussen modified the project to use the Managed Wi-Fi C# wrapper for the Native Wi-Fi API.
