[edit] Alternatives

what are the alternatives to this piece of software? Yeah, this page advertising netstumbler while not giving any chance to find alternatives, eg. TamoSoft CommView, cisco AirMagnet etc (well, they are all commercial) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.141.69.208 (talk) 12:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vista Compatibility.

NetStumbler does work in Vista as long as you run it's compatibility options through WinXP 32bit. I use it in vista nearly everyday. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.218.71.233 (talk) 18:45, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

It will however not run if you plug it right into a Vista enabled PC and expect it to run. Rexmage 06:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC)Rexmage

[edit] Helium Networks SiteStumbler

It seems the author or NetStumbler has started a company "Helium Networks" (heliumnetworks.com) with as its main product a newer version of NetStumbler, renamed as "SiteStumbler", which it sells for just $249,-

NetStumbler itself has not seen any updates for more then 3 years (last update was April 2004). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.165.3.128 (talk) 20:39, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Looking at Helium Networks' website, NetStumbler's author is not on the board of directors. I'm guessing they are merely commercial licensees of NetStumbler. Note that SiteStumbler is a specialized product for performing site surveys, with a mapping capability. Letdorf 09:27, 14 September 2007 (UTC).
